I have added YAEV, Yet Another Environment Variable to the CGI spec: AUTH_TYPE.
This is the protocol-specific method used to authenticate the user. The value
of this variable would determine what is in the AUTH_USER variable (for
instance, if it was public key authentication, this may be the user's public
key). 

Any problems with this?
