LoginManager gives you GUF-like capabilities, and also supports using
your own classes for users. Create a ZClass that derives from LoginUser
and choose it on the Storage tab of the UserSource.

You can do some really interesting things with this.  As a simple
example, give your ZClass an index_html method that displays the user's
profile, and you can go to http://www.yoursite.com/zope/acl_users/jsmith
and see the profile for that user.
