Strictly speaking, GET should not perform actions with side-effects,  
and logging out is clearly a side-effect.  ;-)

That aside, I have no strong objection to adding a config key called  
'via' or 'source' in Solar_User_Auth to specify how login attempts  
should be processed ("'via' => 'get'" or "'source' => 'post'").   
Then, for consistency, I'd have to rename the 'post_*' keys to  
'via_*' or 'source_*'.

Comments?
