Actually, anyone using Windows will have the cli version installed, and 
I'm not sure, but the newest php builds the cli version from source by 
default as well (located in the php-4.3.x/sapi/cli directory). When 
Metabase parses an XML schema file, it writes a copy of it in order to 
use it if there are updates run at a later time. This would make it 
easier to update from previous versions if we change the field types or 
make other changes.

It had to do with the user not being shown the "activate" checkbox in 
the form. When the form was posted, it always assumed that it was there, 
so when the values wasn't set, it deactivated a user any time they tried 
to update their password.
