Thanks to Quinton's updated HOWTO I successfully extended TurbineUser which
solves my primary key-grabbing issues (thanks for everyone's input along
the way). Quinton, a few suggestions if you have the time.

The current HOWTO leaves one with an application that cannot be deployed
anew w/ 'ant init' (e.g. to a fresh machine/database straight out of a
project cvs repository)  -- the howto doesn't go all the way and
communicate to users a safe mechanism for inclusion of TURBINE* tables into
projectname-schema.xml so they they are auto-generated as part of the sql
generation phase but don't manage to funk-up the OM class generation.
Perhaps Torque currently can't do this cleanly? Not sure I understand the
process enough to tell.

I also now have a hand-added field in my extended user class that appears
_nowhere_ in my carefully crafted object model xml file; this to me seems a
Bad Thing. Is there a way to have my cake and eat it too -- to extend user
AND auto-generate viable turbine_* tables and maintain homogeneity b/t
object model and database structure?

Again, Quinton, thanks for taking one for the team and writing that up; the
help was invaluable and in the end the hardest part of the process was
realizing that my java/perl-addicted fingers had typed a ';' at the end of
my re-declarations in TurbineResources.properties which results in some
rather nasty Class not found errors. Fun!
