Okay, I committed the change to bbs.login() - 2 additional (optional)
arguments: user_pw and sys_pw. If supplied, the passwords won't be prompted
for. Also, if you don't supply the 2nd argument (the user password prompt), it
won't be displayed either - previously the function would just fail. If you
pass the user password, the prompt isn't displayed anyway, so just passsing
null or a blank string for the password prompt should be fine.
