We don't have a more elegant way of dealing with Basic Authentication
yet. Someday Watir might borrow some of the code from Net::HTTP to do
this, but it won't be happening any time soon.
If you search the archives, you'll find some discussion of me trying
to hack Basic Auth into Watir's goto() method. I could get to the
main page OK with automated Basic Auth credentials, but I couldn't
fool IE into giving me access to links, frames, etc.
