Why do you want this? It's really the way of the past. The trend is to
single-signon. Drivers poping up dialogs sounds like something from 1992.

Much better in Win32/64 would be domain-login ability using the Win32 API
to pass the credentials.

But, hey, it's free software. Patches are always welcome.
