[mod_python] Problem with win32 installation - can't authenticate

Grisha,

The browser comes back with a prompt again a number of times and then 
eventually I end up at the access forbidden page.  The strangest thing just 
happened though... I switched the order of getting the username and 
password, and it started working!  I haven't changed anything in the apache 
config between then and now.

Thanks!

-Jacob
