Well, I don't care if the code is on codespeak or in zope3's svn. I'll
do what you think is better for zope3. I've talked to my boss, he
doesn't care either, but I've promised him to give half of my credit to
aragne. I suppose I must add a notice on the top of each files.

My major problem now is that it does not seem to play well with
simpleprincipal. I think Stephan's recipe was writen before some changed
were made to pluggable auth.

In fact I see this code that according to my understanding put a too
strong dependecy of SimplePrincipal towards BtreePrincipalSource:

    class SimplePrincipal(Persistent, Contained):

        implements(IUserSchemafied, IBTreePrincipalSourceContained)

So I think that SimplePrincipal should be renamed BTreePrincipal.

Or the second implemented class could be IPrincipalSourceContained, but
then every PrincipalSource should implement IContainer (its seems
logical that something that is implementing IContained must be "into" a
class implementing IContainer but I might be wrong).
