I plan to include an xml file that needs only be included in the main
propel database xml file (and a DBDesigner4 library, just point and
click), and then one foreign key needs to be added, and they should be
ready to go. So I don't think there will be much need for customization
for the live user tables, but only the aliases and optional fields for
the user table. Do you know if many people use the liveuser tables with
different field names from the default?
