    I have just commited a set of changes to the PTK demo application.
The present development version of LoginManager has been added as a
product in the ZopePTK package.  The DemoPortal Wizard can now offer
the ability to instantiate a Portal which uses a LoginManager as it's
user folder.  This ability is commented out in the distribution to
protect the innocent.

    LoginManager has been added to the PTK demo application to help
develop and test the LoginManager product before it becomes the
standard PTK user folder.  It is not yet useful to be used the PTK's
user folder.  These items prevent it's general usefulness:

  - LoginManager does not yet have support for persistent
    propertysheets on user objects.

  - The add, change and delete user object actions are not yet
    implemented.

  - There are no UserSources.

    If you choose to create a Portal with a LoginManager, it will
claim to have created the manager's account like normal, but it is
_lying_-- the _doAddUser method of the LoginManager is a no-op.

    Preliminary documentation of the LoginManager is available in the
README.txt file of the LoginManager product.
