Good, that's more or less what I had in mind.

Here goes v2 of the patch, now there are 4 files (I could have
squashed the docs with the code changes, but hey, that'll be easy to
merge if needed :-) )

I did some fiddling to Michaels doc proposal, but it says basically the same.

Not 100% happy with the change to user-manag.sgml, but ok enough to send.

I also added an entry to the commitfest so we can track this there as well.

Regards,
