In fact, about half an hour ago I figured that I was spending more time figuring out how to extract in the right order -- or in a limited way -- than I would just doing it right, so I started running through the code looking for any $pw and friends to change :-) When register_globals are on, the order in which variables are extracted are controled by gpc_order setting.
