[mod_python] Using mod_python for auth only

That's much more what I was looking for. Although the access phase is
not intended for authentication, the extra directives that I had to
add to trigger the auth phase made the configuration misleading at
best. I had to add AuthType and Require, even though my handler did
not use them. I think this trick is a little bit cleaner.
