    crypt'd version of the password in the database, and check against
    that.  (This is silly, because we're also keeping the plaintext
    version there, but I have plans...)  Stop passing the plaintext
    password around as a cookie; instead, we have a cookie that references
    a record in a new database table, logincookies.
    
    IMPORTANT: if updating from an older version of Bugzilla, you must run
    the following commands to keep things working:
    
     ./makelogincookiestable.sh
     echo "alter table profiles add column cryptpassword varchar(64);" | mysql bugs
     echo "update profiles set cryptpassword = encrypt(password,substring(rand(),3, 4));" | mysql bugs
