I don't even think we need yet another mechanism in Typo3. We already have
hooks, which is exactly what we need here. Our typo3 extention that will
handle the integration of a 3rd party application only needs to register
for a couple of hooks (at "addUser", "changeUser", "deleteUser") and then
pass this information over to the 3rd party app.

The problem now is maybe it won't be that easy to find a spot to include
such as hook, as the user creation/editting stuff is not separated from
the rest of the normal table management routines, right?
