[sldev] [Upcoming Changes] Website Viewer Authentication

[Donovan Linden]

With the first iteration, the viewer will retain user interface which  
looks very similar to the XUI login form on the current splash  
screen, except implemented as part of the HTML page which takes up  
the rest of the splash screen today. So the user experience is not  
going to change at all, at least not initially. What happens later  
remains to be decided.

The first iteration will also continue to support the -login command  
line switch for specifying username and password in a script.  
Probably -login will continue to be supported forever.
