clarify set password option -- it's core provided

As of Drupal5, core Drupal has the ability to uncheck "Require e-mail verification when a visitor creates an account" on admin/user/settings. This lets user choose own password and lets user into the site immediately. We should clarify the features of this module to know that these capabilities are not unique to LBT. I do know that LBT does some role trickiness so there is still value here.

there's a lot of value there. i wouldn't change this part of the code, except maybe to clarify things in the doc a bit -- it already leverages core's password creation/login feature as much as possible.

In general, has this module been quickly ported over the years or have we taken more time to integrate the new parts of 5 and 6?

the module has been very well maintained while i've been in charge, and i've adjusted it's feature set to the current capabilities of core.

For example, is LBT compatible with OpenID module?

not yet. there's an issue in the LT queue for this -- http://drupal.org/node/232467 -- and i'm happy to review a patch that fixes the compat issues w/ OpenID -- i have no experience with OpenID, and little time to figure it out to write that patch, so i was kind of hoping for a little help from the community there, but none has been forthcoming yet.

i'm not seeing a bug here -- switching to a possible doc task.

i've corrected the documentation for 5.x and 6.x regarding the email verification feature.
