  This change is largely based on changes made by Winston Prakash for Hudson.
  The main details about his changes can be found here:
  
  http://issues.hudson-ci.org/browse/HUDSON-8844
  
  I deviated a bit from his changes where it was appropriate (e.g. the
  description for allow-signup.html was just plain wrong). Also, there
  was a lot of collateral damage from formatting in his changeset, which
  I have factored out.
  
  I tested the basic functionality of this change and it seems to be OK.
