[p4] P4win and eclipse recently started prompting forloginpassword

[Ken Williams]

What I'd like is for P4V (I'm on a Mac) and P4WSAD to share the ticket that
my command-line client has written to ~/.p4tickets.  Haven't figured out how
to do this, but they're all using the same p4 client, so in theory it should
work.
