The flickcurl command line program requires a valid auth_token in
~/.flickcurl.conf (one that corresponds to the api_key and secret in
~/.flickcurl.conf).

auth_token can be derived from the api_key and secret and should not be
required.

I am marking the Severity of this bug as important because it is not
possible to use flickcurl without the auth_token and generating a valid
auth_token with the api_key and secret is non-trivial (it is better done
by the utility rather than the person using the utility).

Pretty much every other flickr API toolkit (postr, flickrfs etc.)
computes the auth_token given the api_key and secret.
