After banging my head against the wall for an hour or so I found out that, unfortunately, it is impossible to obtain a user’s facebook login and password and use it to update the user:

Re: Terms of Service rule 2.A.9.vi

[apps cannot] request, collect, solicit or otherwise obtain access to usernames, passwords or other authentication credentials from any Facebook Users, or to proxy authentication credentials for any Facebook Users for the purposes of automating logins to the Facebook Site;

In order for this to work, the user would have to go to a Facebook login screen every time a status is updated, which is a pain-in-the-you-know-what.

Facebook’s out, and you can blame that on Facebook!
