if (RetrieveAuthPage($pagename,'edit',false)) {
   # user is authorized to edit
} else {
   # user is not yet authorized to edit
}

This will generally not work if you're using HTTP-based authentication,
because browsers typically send authentication information only in
response to a request for it.  It should work with session-based
authentication, however.  It will work especially nicely under v2's
session-based authentication, which keeps track of all of the passwords
entered during a particular browsing session (instead of just the most
recent one).
