I omitted this part intentionally. I tried to keep phpVideoPro 
compatible to phpGroupWare (a project I used to work with before I 
started with phpVideoPro), so we could plug it in there easily. phpGW 
already has multi-user functionality built in, that's why I didn't want 
to create my own user mode. If somebody needs something like r/o users 
and r/w users, at this time the easiest way to do this is to set up 2 
different database users and 2 installations of phpVP using the same 
database. While one installation uses the r/w user (and may have some 
.htaccess file in for security), all "guests" should use the other 
installation which has the r/o db user set up in inc/config.inc

Sure, a complete users db would provide additional features, such as 
storing user settings (language, filters etc.) on a per user basis, but 
I wanted to delay this until the main features are in - and they aren't 
all yet (label printing e.g. is still missing :)
