Note: AuthUser alone does not have self-registration. As Kathryn said, 
her setup includes HtpasswdForm.

How about a "Welcome stranger" page?

Does the registration system have a "hold for approval" setting. I run 
some non-wiki lists where the user does most of the registration 
themselves, then I get an email saying my approval is needed. Approval 
then consists of me logging in and clicking "approve NewGuy".
