you can do most of this without any other helpers or changes to the  
core code.

function beforeValidate() {

     $this->invalidate('username_taken');
     return false ;
}

the in your view
$html->tagErrorMsg('User/username_taken', 'This username is already  
taken. Please choose another');

Then you can use validates and save as normal.
