Each page needs to be secured by allowing only HTTP request vars once an
"entry point" variable has been set.

Variable set only at allowed entry points from the user.  Examples are like
install.php, login.php, admin/index.php, etc.

Sweep entire application, identify pages that should allow direct input
from web client.

Begin to minimize the amount of pages that allow direct input.

Analyze each request string and add security checks to make sure each is
getting the data we expect and nothing more.
