After reading the code some more this morning, I discovered that the Auth
module grabs the username/pass from the $_POST array, as long as you have
your form variables named properly, which I did.

And (since I shut the machine down overnight), my test code now works
fine. This is disturbing, because it implies that something is being
cached somewhere. My memory is that I used the reload button enough that
it couldn't be browser cache.

Anyways, it's mostly a non-issue now, although I'd still like to see docs
for the available param list for the declared "login" function, since the
examples show it two ways.
