[Building Sakai] KNL-257 (Basic Auth) merging to 2.6.x (Kernel 1.0.x)

[Matthew Buckett]

Some of the basic auth (base64 related) tickets in the kernel look
like they might be merged to 2.6.x (Kernel 1.0.x):

http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-270
Subtasked into:
  http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-257
  http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-271
  http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-272

While I think it's a good thing that this issue has been addressed I
wouldn't class it as a bug and don't see that it need to be merged
into the 1.0.x kernel.

The reason I'm bringing this up is that we have some patches to the
kernel and so maintain our own local version of it and the more
patches that are pushed back to the 1.0.x branch the more stuff we
have to merge.

Our longterm aim is not to have a custom local kernel but sadly we're
not there yet.
