Wow, I hadn't even heard of pubcookie before your message.  It
looks quite promising.

Since pubcookie just uses the REMOTE_USER variable to communicate
authentication information to applications, it seems like one ought
to be able to just do

    include_once('scripts/httpauth.php');

and have it successfully identify people who have authenticated
with pubcookie.  We might need to do a little tweaking to handle
anonymous access, but other than that it ought to work.

I'll be glad to help find and document the exact configuration that 
works, but essentially most of what is needed appears to be already
built into PmWiki.  :-)
