I just had some nit-y and other trivial comments spotted on a
read-through, but with the caveat that I'm not too familiar with the
credential infrastructure this looks good to me.

I'm rather neutral on the whole question of whether we eventually ship a
httpd in-tree, but I think the v7 to v8 clearly demonstrates that
whatever we do there, this topic is much improved by having that
question un-tangled from the credential improvements here.

Thanks!
