LoginManager now has this capability. The loginForm is passed
"needroles", the list of roles one would have to have one of to perform
the action that prompted the login. Thus you could do:

 <dtml-if "'Member' in needroles">
  ... member login form ...
 <dtml-else>
  ... manager login form ...
 </dtml-if>

(note that 'Manager' is likely allowed to do both member and manager
things, and thus checking "'Manager' in needroles" would be true in
either case and not do what you want)
