Created a seperate module for editSelf things This improves the coherency in the user module, while at the same time making it easier to set proper access control for the editSelf related pages. Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier

"""
The md5 and sha modules are deprecated since Python 2.5, replaced by the
hashlib module containing both hash algorithms. Here, we provide a common
interface to the md5 and sha constructors, preferring the hashlib module when
available.
