Add support for inviting external users to sign up for an account, and for
them to reset their password. (This facilitates use of IVLE in a wider
variety of contexts).

How about using their email address as the account name?

There should also be a configuration setting that allows people to request an
account, by submitting a form.

How will such people discover IVLE worksheets, when they're not enrolled in a subject?

People may already change their passwords, if they have a local password (ie. they're
not an LDAP account). In the current permissions model, they *need* to be enrolled in
the subjects, but we can easily add an automated enrolment module that magically
enrols all non-LDAP users in some offering.

The ability to 'sign up' is optional (and disabled in the University install). We
want this on the demo site (which we want up by Release 1.0).

This page includes a box where a user can describe why they are interested
in IVLE. This allows a human to manually approve a sign-up request and
minimize bogus account creation.
