Lazy registration module for Drupal

Today I figured that the module I developed a while ago and never completely finished rotted enough on my hard drive.

The lazy registration module implements lazy registration for Drupal.

It can create accounts automatically, purge them after a period of time, allow users to make them permanent by either email confirmation or a simple edit to the account.

The account is created the first time the user tries to access an area which requires authentication. There are two ways of handling a user trying to access a members only area:
- Automatically create a temporary account
- Display a login form with the option of continuing with a temporary account.

Users can confirm the account in two ways:
- By editing their account information
- By email confirmation to make sure people don't enter bogus email addresses

Email confirmation is still buggy.

How much work will it take to get this running on Drupal 5.x?
This is a must have feature on drupal (and I'ld be willing to kick in a little bounty to help with the upgrade)

Am I correct in assuming that user actions (like voting, commenting, etc) are stored in a cookie somehow? When/if the user registers that information is brought into the account?
