I think so.  It seems about as close to "use EG for everything" as
we're realistically going to get, short of faking out ofbiz with some
views on top of the EG user table.

The less duplicated data the better, of course.  I assume the purpose
of propgating the username is to display it at the top of pages or
some such?

I'd probably java-fy it to org.OpenILS.WoodChip, but other than that, meh... ;)

This may be to ofbiz specific for me to really understand, but I do
think having a single common bundle would be  preferable to multiple
"modules" ...
