[Zope-CMF] tracker #485

I'm trying to understand Tracker #485 to fix it.

I don't understand how authenticating from an external user folder can
possibly work anyway.

There are a number of places where CMFCore.MembershipTool assumes that
all the members come from one single user folder. For instance
getMemberById uses only one acl_users, listMemberIds gets its ids from
only one place...

Besides right at the top of MembershipTool it says:
    # This tool accesses member data through an acl_users object.
    # It can be replaced with something that accesses member data in
    # a different way.
