LIDS rocks.  I love it.  =)

Ok, cool.

Hmm... yeah.  I just looked at the theme files to break out the "send 
me my password" stuff that Russell mentioned a while back and saw the 
gobs of PHP code in there.  You're right, it will be a little 
interesting.

I plan on using heredoc syntax for the templates... should make things 
a lot easier to do, but I think to do that I might have to break each 
current function into it's own file.  Then I can "prep" things so 
instead of having gettext mixed into html code, do something like:

<select bla>
$yesnolist
</select>

and this way we generate the options before we even hit the code and 
just include a variable for it.  I've moved a lot of the "static" stuff 
(that I want to make un-static) in the main code to do this and it's 
amazingly cool.

You're welcome.  Didn't have as much time to do what I wanted today, so 
didn't get a chance to look at this, but did commit some fixes/changes.

I'll likely be able to merge your stuff in tomorrow after I take a 
closer look at it.
