HTTP Auth
---------

For every plugin configuration (subdir in directory tree), an "auth"
configuration can be added for HTTP AUTH (basic). E.g.:

    <auth login="reichwein" password="wfewqbjkjbw"/>

Passwords are hashed with basic Unix crypt(). So don't make the configuration
file available to others.

Passwords can be prepared by calling "webserver" with the parameter "-p":

# webserver -p mypass3
