Bugzilla extension - beware of Bugzilla 4.4.3+

A heads-up for any users of the Bugzilla extension:

Thanks to Camusensei on IRC, I've been alerted that the Bugzilla extension 
doesn't work with Bugzilla 4.4.3 and later.

For security reasons, in the 4.4.3 release Bugzilla dropped the cookie-based 
login used previously and now return a login token to be supplied on all 
future calls. This is incompatible with the previous login method and I guess 
breaks nearly everything using the Bugzilla API.

I'll start work on adapting the extension, and try to get it in the next 
Mercurial release. Until it's done, can I suggest you either:

a) avoid updating to Bugzilla 4.4.3+, or
b) get busy yourself and send me some patches :-)

Thanks.
