From what I've seen in the source, this:

is probably the least painful way to accomplish this goal.  Right now, for
example, you could create a folder 'userdbs' containing each user folder in
a sub-folder.  There would be user folders at 'userdbs/udb1/acl_users',
'userdbs/udb2/acl_users', etc.  Then you can force each request to pass
through 'userdbs/udb1/udb2/...' when it passes through the folder containing
'userdbs', and the user folders will be checked for authentication (in
reverse order).
