Anyway, before we start discussing the whole
auth stuff further, I guess it would be helpful to
write in one place all requirements/plans that
might affect this area. For instance, the idea of
RGWHandler rework can have such impact.

Let me start the requirements with an item found
after a session with Swift's FormPost middleware:

* the auth infrastructure must allow for easy-adoption
   of new AuthEngines as even FormPost would need
   one :-).

Some specific requirements that I recall from our past discussions include:

- don't heap allocate auth state per request
- don't construct or call into AuthEngines that shouldn't be enabled for the given handler

I'll add some of the other refactoring goals we've discussed, but I don't think they place any strict requirements on the auth subsystem:

- RGWHandler: being able to reuse handler instances, instead of allocating a new one for each request - req_state: contains too many unrelated fields, some of which are transformed in confusing ways over the lifetime of the request. needs to be broken up into smaller, better encapsulated sub-objects - concurrency: move away from a synchronous process_request() to build on asio frontend work
