That sounds like a good idea.  It should also provide some hook to
make it easy to add a LDAP lookup function to map from email address
to username and map email address og official email address before the
user is created.  At the moment we got patches for this partly
working, but did miss some of the places where a user is created, so
some of them are not created with the correct username.  Check
