I just checked and I didn't change the signature, so it should be
fine.  I remembered something else I thought this could be useful for,
turning web messenger login back on.  It broke when they started
requiring webmessenger logins to go over ssl.  So we could bring that
code back as a fallback for when the normal login fails.
