OK, I've added it, afetr thinking for a little bit.  It's not ideal but
should do the job for siple queries.  You call it like this:

(auth-source-user-and-password "hostname")

(auth-source-user-and-password "hostname" "username")

The return has three elements, 1) the user name, 2) the password, 3) the
entire auth-source entry so you can get any other interesting info.
