I guess what I'm writing is a bandaid more then anything :)  ... I
haven't taken the time to dive into the existing code to see why the
current format was chosen although I'm sure there was a reason for it.
This could entail a bit more then just creating another *unified* user
table but I'm not sure right now (ie: how other code interacts with
the existing db etc).

Anyway I'll clean it up and finish it tomorrow just in case anyone is
interested ... like I said it wont be anything special but it'll work
;)
