[Catalyst] Simplified auth configuration - input requested

[Devin Austin]

I think Octavian made a good point as well.

Using ::Loader tends to mess some people up.  I personally have written a
small helper script with the options I use to update my schema code from the
DB, and it makes like a million times easier.

But until you figure out that ::Loader and Authentication don't play well
unless you have them/use them correctly, it can be a headache.
