User 1 is pre-defined

[Josh Koenig]

It's not so good that user #1 comes pre-established. In the longer run we want an install profile to handle this, but in the short term, we should just remove the record and reset the AUTO_INCREMENT on the users table:

DELETE FROM users WHERE uid = 1;
ALTER TABLE users AUTO_INCREMENT = 1;

The current user-data script I'm working on allows the user to change the username, password and email of user 1. If we still want this functionality I'll update the user-data to create a new record.

Very cool Sean! I would love that as an optional feature! Let's do both. ;)
