[Building Sakai] Modify sakai user entity (sakai.kernel-1.2.8)

[John Bush]

Even in the cases where this can't be the EID, maybe you have 2 or 3 ids
you need to store, there are still other options. For example, as has
already been brought up you can certainly store all this stuff as
userProperties which is typically what most people do.  If you have some
front end requirements to display this stuff, you could even implement
a ContextualUserDisplayService depending on what you are trying to do.

Unless you are planning on never upgrading and you want to just fork it for
the task at hand, you definitely want to think about doing things the right
way so that saves you pain down the road.
