      Description

      When admin_externalpage_setup() is called, there is no need to call require_login(). For example it could be removed from the following code:

      require_login();
      		 
       
      		 
      admin_externalpage_setup('letters');

      Please confirm that my reasoning is correct and I will prepare a patch for all affected areas.
