We could make a nicer implementation, by having a view with name @@login 
registered for the portal root. /login (or /@@login, to disambiguate) 
would then only be available on the site root. I suggest we still 
redirect to /login_form e.g. with 
self.request.response.redirect('login_form').

I can whip this up if people agree.
