This was not a gsoc proposal, I added my biographical details as
an introduction as this was one of my first post on the group. The
changes I suggested have been on my mind for some time, so I thought
of posting it. Auth user model modifications, Dynamic site ID are some
discussions which have been highly requested and discussed. So I am
aware that one cannot just write a few modifications and fix it for all.
