I've just pushed some work based on Jason Davies' cookie-auth branch

This consolidates login, logout, and whoami to a /_session resource
that supports POST, GET, and DELETE.
One thing missing here is a /_utils/login.html interface that would
also handle creating new accounts.
Another is a general consensus around how admins grant roles to new
users, set default roles, etc.
Take a look at it and feel free to add patches. Tomorrow I plan to
move to an svn branch, but I'll merge any git patches that come along,
before moving to svn.
This is starting to sound like feature-creep to me - isn't this better
served by a front-end tool? Maybe an erlang-based set of tools around
couch would be nice, but I like the concept of keeping couch
lean-and-mean and leaving many of these 'application' concepts outside
the core.
Hopefully helpfully...
Mark.
