[sldev] More about viewer auth in today's RC

[Tess Chu]

Here's some additional information:

Currently, the login form lives here:  
https://secondlife.com/app/login/index.php?show_login_form=True
This URL can be set on the client in an xml file:  
skins/xui/en-us/panel_login.xml
I just created this Jira task to add a client option to set this URL:
    http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-3741 "-loginpage <url> option 
to client"
This feature will be useful for folks using OpenSim who would have a 
separate authentication page.  Clients of OpenSim would just need to set 
-loginpage  and -loginuri  to connect.

Also, I've been asked to clarify:  *We will not change this form without 
notice to sldev.

*Thanks,
Tess
