If the templates aren't included, there should at least be a
jifty action --name Login
that would generate stubs, else the user is going to have to replicate
that functionality (DRY).

Didn't notice that; I'll read it and comment later.

Because the login classes (at least as written for Wifty) need to refer
to the application's own user class, plus the core Login.pm need to be
overridden for those cases where it's too simplistic (say my Client
Certificate variant, or the 'piece of skin from the nape of the neck'
hardware authentication that TopSecret sites might use).
