(They are written in the green box of the main page of the wiki, maybe
I should make the note stand out a little more :-P)

I see. Only if "auth_basic" and "auth_basic_user_file" could be used
inside an "if" context, we could workaround this... I think WSGI
authentication middleware could be used as well, as long as the
middleware allows to only limit some URLs ;-)

I don't know whether this will be a widely-used feature, I have tested
hgweb, bazaar's smartserver and Trac so far. Only Trac needed this. If
there isn't a huge need for this, the manual-configuration method will
suffice.

Those were my 2 cents ;-)
