There has been some significant re-design and re-factoring since the
version that is installed on the web-site and the re-factored code is
not at a functional level (especially on the authuser side).
Unfortunately for this reason even testing the current version is
somewhat pointless unless someone is going to take that base and
modify rather than starting with the more advanced base (which isn't
yet stable/functional).

Feel free.  I'm back to playing around with this (started prior to and
in spite of the "Save the World!" email :-) ) and, assuming it gets to
a reliable stage, I will be reworking a lot of the documentation as
well.

I agree.  Eemeli provided a well-designed and tightly coded piece of
functionality here.  Let me bang on it for a few more hours and we may
be to a place where some community testing would be helpful...
