Issue Summary
In our environment we use a coustom environment variable to store the authenticated username. For example HTTP_LOGIN.
To be able to read this option I added a new configuration option with this patch called "webserver_auth_user_env_var". When this option is set the given $_SERVER var gets read and used as username. When none is set the default way (Trying REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_USER) is being used.

Great idea, I have an excellent use case for this code and was thinking of doing something similar. I will update you on the progress and see if we can't get this committed.

Did we get anywhere doing this for 5.x also?
