Better to fix rt CLI to handle external auth cases, although I'm not sure
how it wouldn't.  Authentication should be transparent to a REST client, yes?

For your solution you have to be on the RT system to use rt CLI, which isn't
necessarily always desirable.  If we actually used external auth here, I'm
sure I would have submitted a patch by now. :)
