I'm not sure about the redirecting part (where you want to go, 
etc.), but this sounded like a good idea (and it's easy) so I added 
it to the 'base_user' package. The 'newuser' action now has a key 
'autologin' which is by default set to 'no'. Set it to 'yes' to 
autologin users -- you can do this in a global override file, 
instructions are in doc/package.pod.

Package is available on SF. I haven't tested it yet, so let me know 
how it works :-)
