    I'm not actually going to suppose this SQL implementation, since
Membership is going to be reworked (later today?) to use the LoginManager
product from Phillip Eby and Ty Sarna.

    But, here's some hints.  You need to set up two tabels, one called
'users' and one called 'propertysheets'.  'users' four columns,
'username', 'password', 'domains' and 'roles'.  'propertysheets' has four
columns, 'username', 'propertysheet', 'property' and 'value'.  If
possible, 'user' should be indexed in the first, and everything but
'value' in the second.

    I'm glad to hear you at least got as far as you did.  I haven't
touched the SQL stuff in about a billion years!
