Specifically for adding a username field to to be used for login, you can
do:
auth.define_tables(username=True)
See http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/08#Authentication.
More generally, as of 1.96.1, you can add custom fields to any auth table
with:
auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_table_name_goes_here'].append(Fields('new_field_name',...))
