[Zope-CMF] MySQLUserFolder and CMF

[Jens Vagelpohl]

a lot of user folders have their own unique API when it comes to adding, 
deleting or editing user records. that's why most of them won't work with 
the CMF "out of the box" (as far as joining or setting preferences goes).

the Right Thing (TM) to do is to override some of the tools (in most cases 
portal_membership and portal_memberdata) so that all those methods that 
directly talk to the user folder for editing/adding/deleting take the user 
folder's API into account.

a (now somewhat outdated) example is the CMFLDAP package which has those 
tools modified to work with the LDAPLoginAdapter/LDAPUserManager API::
