 Hi All,

 I have a usecase for WordPress that requires me to allow specifying the
 username that will be logged into for WordPress via a URL parameter.

 Essentially, a WordPress plugin allows creating a new username, only if a
 valid email has been sent. As part of the authentication flow, I want to
 be able to specify what the username was on the URL so that the user can
 just click the link that is sent to them via email, requiring only that
 their password be entered.

 I have provided a patch. Please let me know if there are any changes that
 should be made.

 Thanks!
