Synopsis: REMOTE_USER defined in authenticate_basic_user and undefined within add_common_vars

State-Changed-Why:
This problem is also likely to occur if you're using cgis with
paths like /cgi-bin/foo.  If you do that, and you haven't put
an authentication requirement on /cgi-bin/ then REMOTE_USER
won't be set.  See the FAQ for more details.

Is this the case?
