Rather than write a whole new method, one trick might be in the login controller function, check the incoming request.vars.username to see if it is an email address (using the IS_EMAIL validator). Then, depending on that, dynamically set auth.settings.login_userfield to either 'email' or 'username', and then call auth.login() as usual.
