I played with it for a bit, short story: it crashed. Long version: it feel
very clunky, and lacking in features. The output isn't very pretty either,
and rather difficult to understand. Additionally, although it can find users
easily (in fact it already does this) it doesn't import them without manual
intervention. With a large userlist though I suspect that the user listing
interface would become rather unusable.

With that said, for a small installation it should be fairly usable, and
certainly better than nothing. For a large installation though or a
situation where depth of security analysis is necessary it will probably
become unwieldly, and it seems likely to collapse under it's own weight.
