relearning ACL in CakePHP

I started looking into user management and access control lists (ACL) in CakePHP. I'm going to be rewriting filed away from C# .Net over to CakePHP and I figured I would do everything the right way. Up to this point every CakePHP project we've rolled has had its own custom user relationship model and tables custom to the project. So this academic approach to do things in the standard acceptable way is a little bit different, but overall going to be a great thing for any future projects.

Since CakePHP released its 1.2 Final just over Christmas and I've been meaning to jump on the rewrite, it's a good time to start hacking away on some new code.
