How to log in to Mantis with SMF accounts

[Leandro]

I spent some time trying to integrate Mantis to SMF using the APIs, but it was an adventure in annoyance and failure. So I decided to bypass the whole thing entirely, let Mantis keep its own accounts database, but modify authentication_api.php to use data from the smf_members table to validate logins. If the account is valid in SMF but doesn't exist in Mantis, it calls user_signup to create it. Make sure you read the commit information, as you might need to edit in the right SMF table name.
