Not sure if you are set on using Userauth, but ZAP (formerly FAST
Data) offers a different way to register new users, and authenticate
them that works with PmWiki's default AuthUser.  You can store any
user information you want, send password reminders, and custom your
site dynamically based on their member preferences.  Members can also
update any of their account information at any time.  In many ways it
is an ideal system for a cms. And yes, it checks to make sure a user
name exists before creating an account and does expression matching
for email addresses.
