Darn. I just did a little test, and $c is not in scope for do_login when called
within checkauth() from a Mojolicious controller. 

I do have another idea which is so hacky. In the koha-plugin-test-auth, I
redirect STDOUT and STDERR to /dev/null, but I could actually redirect STDOUT
to a scalar variable, and then I could parse the output and translate it to
Mojolicious... 

Rather than hacking apart Koha's existing functions, it might be a better idea
to refactor checkauth() so that it's comprised of separate login and logout
functions, which can be called in a more environmentally aware way. 

Anyway, definitely calling it a night...
