I unsuccesfully attempted to diff these with the existing userauth and
stdlib files... It's clear that a lot of the changes you made are for the
email and notify pieces... but when I attempted to figure out how to make
just the cookie work, it didn't and it broke stuff enough that I went back
to the original userauth.  stdlib didn't seem to need much changing if any.

Someone who understands this better than me (not hard) want to take a quick
crack at it?  It looks as if  it isn't a major thing, just set the cookie
correctly (via setprefs&userid ) and then read it back.  Maybe I'm wrong,
but it looks like everything else in stdlib will work so long as a valid
userid is there.  How much of the auth stuff needs to be there for this?

Having anyone be able to sign via RecentChanges is a really nice thing...
Adding a single line to UserPreferences such as
[Set UserID | phpwiki:?action=setprefs&userid=40()] should be possible,
right?
