This part is implemented, I just have to merge my files with the current

tree, clean up the code and commit all my diffs... give me a couple of days :/

I also implemented a PortletRegistry which allows the user config files to
reference portlets by name. This is important IMO because I can upgrade
portlets in the registry without the user knowing it as long at the upgraded
version supports the same parameters.
I also have the markup ready for creating user profiles which can be used to
initialize a user environment upon creation.

I wonder how this can be achieved globally since we don't know what is a
"level of detail" for a given portlet. How should the FilePortlet deal with that
parameter ?
