This is a problem that apparently can only be solved by replicating
ZPublisher's backward walk, which is the wrong thing to do because the
traversal will be O(n^2). Bleah. I guess we'll have to do something like
Stuart Bishop's backward walk in the GUF, since any enhancement of the
ZPublisher architecture to handle login forms properly won't happen until
at least 2.2.
Meanwhile, I suppose Ty and I should try to come up with a proposal for
revising ZPublisher to be able to walk back on the user lookups but still
use the login form closest to the URL being accessed.
