Description:
------------
When using a user-defined login function, it would appear that Auth fails to recognize methods as $loginFunction. Using a simple function name works fine, but using object->method to specify the function fails.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$security = new Auth('DB',$params,'main->loginForm');

Expected result:
----------------
$main->loginForm() is executed in place of default login form.

Actual result:
--------------
Auth ignores the method and uses the default login function instead.

I'm not sure this is a bug. The PEAR libraries use is_callable() to determine if the $loginFunction exists. To path a method as the $loginFunction, try this:
$main = new Main();
$security = new Auth("DB",$params, array($main, 'loginForm'));

Tested using array to call class and method and worked as described. Thank you.
