It most certainly won't - for a start the file against which it was created
uses dbConn (i.e. It is Turbine 2.1)  The patch is also not in unidiff
format (I didn't know any better when I created it :-) and so it doesn't set
a good example.

I don't think you mean "elevate", you may actually mean "eliminate", but
what you say is untrue - if Torque generates the TurbineUser object it will
greatly simplify the steps necessary to extend the TurbineUser object,
whether or not you need to extend it depends upon your application
requirements and design.  Also, the solution is in fact at hand - I think
Henning has committed it to cvs already, so it will be in Turbine 2.3.

I have a bunch of other small fixes to this document that I will patch
later, but you might like to make some changes to the stuff you have just
updated.

Other than the above this is good stuff.

Cheers,

Scott
