Do a "light" bootstrap and use something like http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/user_login_submit
I need to be able to manually force a login without using the login
subsystem. I was wondering if anyone knew the minimum needed to consider
a user 'logged in'. It looked to me that setting the $user variable was
key but I wasn't sure what else was necessary - and if its possible to
do outside of the framework just by setting certain variables.
