Hi Jeff,

Thanks for having a look at the CAF and for the suggestions!

This very near our top priority at the moment.  I do know how to do
make this work, but I just have to get the time to add the feature.

One of the things we've been investigating is switching to Cees's
prototype Auth plugin - cross porting the features from both auth
systems into each other and ending up with a single CAP::Auth plugin.

Cees's Auth plugin allows for runmode level authorization as well as
just basic authentication.  You can set it up so that anyone can view
runmode_a, but only "managers" can view runmode_x.

This is definitely on the list as an intermediate solution before we try
the full CAP::Auth stuff.
