Have you looked at the auth_mysql module for apache?

I moved a number of my systems over to this recently.  Previusly, I had 
simply used a php include but that was getting too hard to maintain.  
Now, all I need to do is configure the module in a .htaccess file or 
httpd.conf and then just maintain a mysql database.  Much easier.
