What This Is Edit

This patch causes any user-based custom fields to show up on the user preferences page. If you allow users SeeCustomField, they'll be able to see the fields that apply to them; if they're allowed ModifyCustomField, they'll be able to change them.

The patch below was made against RT 3.5.5; I suspect the logic can be transplanted as far back as 3.2, though.

Patch for 3.6.1

Looks like it works for 3.6.1 too. I did not use the patch mechanism but copied some code from /Admin/Users/Modify.html and the 'push results-sentance' from here.
