validate_authentication description in tutorial is outdated

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This exception raises when you connect to the authenticator written previously.

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    TypeError: validate_authentication() takes exactly 3 arguments (4 given)

The problem is in the tutorial it shows the old version.
In new one you have to add a third arg - handler.

From:
https://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/wiki/Tutorial

validate_authentication(username, password, handler)
Raises AuthenticationFailed if the supplied username and password doesn't match 
the stored credentials.

I see nothing wrong here.
