Sorry, I misunderstood initially.. was not aware of pubcookie as a
project. I've had a quick look at it, but I'm not certain at this point
how it would integrate with externalauth.

Having said that, I don't know why it wouldn't be able to live
side-by-side with externalauth and so it oughtnt make apache go boom
just by loading it.

To be honest, I would have thought that your best route to success would
be to use mod_pubcookie, in which case you don't want
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth at all, but instead you'd want RT's inbuilt
apache authentication system whereby it just listens to whatever apache
tells it.
