[development] How to Log in a user

[Erik B. Ebright]

Your hacks are of interest to me, currently i am working on a project 
rootsnetwork.org and am looking into some kinda of shopping cart ecomm 
solution to help support artists and the site. If you think your method 
is better than previous methods for drupal ecomm then by all means help 
me out with some code or something.

Good looks.

-eeeb.
