agreed. the implementation itself was briefly done as a monkey patch, 
which the previous email was an artifact of, and then changed to a 
custom user factory and user class, which delegates to an internal 
local roles plugin type. unfortunately i haven't had time to push any 
of the other changes back into pas cvs, the core modifications/monkies 
currently are just adding add/del user api implementations.
