[security-dev] REST API for user provisioning

[Anil Saldhana]

Bolek/Stian,
   I just put together some preliminary SCIM codebase under the 
picketlink/scim module.  Take a look.  It is very early that does 
create/get  users and groups.

I am hoping Marko can help out filling the gaps a bit.

Regards,
Anil
