Do you think there is any chance of eliminating the need to pass the
administrator password as an argument?  I can't see any way of really
storing that password without causing folks to scream about potential
insecurity.  I looked at some of the SHA digest functions and,
cryptographic light-weight that I am, it seems like it would be all too
easy to recover the password from the prefs file given that the salt
would be in plain-text in the plugin code.  At most, we would be
protecting the system administrative password with what could be
construed as merely minor obfuscation.
