Log Message: ----------- mpwa: in progress work to support user validation and registration

I haven't looked at the code in this revision (or any of the mpwa code, really), but this is going to be a part of the MacPorts web site, yes? I think we should therefore be thinking about how we can create a single login system that works for every part of the site -- issue tracker, mpwa, news items, and anything else we might have. I'm not familiar with WordPres or Trac setup so I don't know what options are available. I know that I personally dislike the type of login we currently have for Trac -- that browser alert box. It's ugly. I much prefer login forms on web pages, since you can make them look pretty. So... have we given any thought to how to make every part of the MacPorts web site recognize a global login?
