Description:
------------
I was thinking today, as I installed a PEAR collection with the WebFrontend module, that it would be more useful if it had user-authentication built it. On my particular system configuration (we use Apache on an AFS filesystem with ACLs and it largly ignores htaccess files) restricting access to a directory also restricts the scripts read access to itself, so it cannot not run properly. Having a built in auth system would work around this nicely.

It's not our job to provide such features, it's easy to customize the index.php with Auth (or whatever you use) or protect the installer folder (using htaccess or what is required on other web servers).
