We really should look at Keith's code ;) IIRC Andreas'  
MCPasswordManager only worked for HTTP anyway - that's why I  
mentioned authentication realms ... the problem is the same though,  
you can have a multitude of accounts on the same HTTP server, it's  
just that SqueakSource does not support per-repository credentials  
(which is fine for SqueakSource, don't get me wrong). But other HTTP  
servers or FTP servers would allow this.
