[Zope] SimpleUserFolder and local roles

[Stefan H. Holek]

There is a "problem" with user_names, namely that the local roles 
screen calls it on an unwrapped user folder. Depending on how you use 
SUF, this may be an issue for you. The sql methods (and probably even 
the db connection) should live inside of the SUF and not expected to be 
acquireable from "above".

Alternativley, here is a small patch to Role.py which will rewrap the 
user folder before calling user_names on it.
