I'd prefer to have this on the 'Configuration' tab of portal_membership, 
there is already the 'setMemberareaCreationFlag' UI. But I don't know if 
there is a policy to move all settings to portal_properties.

A small proposal:
=================

I'd like to have this default value in MembershipTool:

     membersfolder_id = 'Members'

and add these methods to the portal_membership interface:

     def setMembersFolder(id='Members'):
         """ Set the members folder object.

         The members folder has to be in the same container as the
         membership tool. id is the id of an existing folder. If id is
         None, member areas are disabled.

         Permission -- Manage portal
         """

     def getMembersFolder():
         """ Get the members folder object.

         If no members folder is set or the set folder id doesn't exist,
         None is returned.

         Permission -- Always available

         Returns -- Members folder object or None
         """

If someone wants something more general, he just needs to override these 
  two methods.


Comments are welcome.

Cheers,

Yuppie
