Can we make it so that the tools log in for us? Well, yes, I suppose it 
can by one updating one's repository string?

MCHttpRepository
	location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/'
	user: 'myaccount'
	password: 'mypassword'

I'm happy to have a required login, and I'd like to avoid having to 
manually log in anywhere too.
