I struggled a little with this and I now have it working (in development 
anyway) using an SQL database (PostgreSQL) to hold details of users. It 
seems to me that if you need to store a 'profile' on your registered users 
then this is the way to go. You need to read the README that comes with the 
distribution and also read the SQL How-to you've listed below. This do not 
really explain how to use it once it is set up so I added a 'Tip' at
http://www.zope.org/Members/Lunus/lunus_01

I'm still learning but I haven't found any reason _not_ to use GUF yet.
