As far as sourceforge user stuff, we have to wait until sourceforge 
gives us access and instructions.  PHP4 authentication and 
session stuff will definitely make this easier, but since sourceforge 
was built on php3 i doubt they're using the php4 built in features. 
Maybe they'll port over and then expose it to us.  In the meantime, 
i think we might as well implement our own with the intentional 
design of making it easy to plug into the sourceforge authentication 
when its made available.  From my general impressions, allowing 
the sourceforge websites to access sourceforge authentication info 
is hard to design securely and not that high a priority so may take 
a long time...
