"Automatically approve .edu signups" feature should be a configuration option

If I'm reading models/user.rb correctly, the policy of automatically approving new user accounts if they have .edu email addresses is hardwired into the code. Please make it possible to turn this off as a configuration option. Or perhaps we could configure a regular expression matching user email addresses to auto-approve? With the empty string meaning "nobody gets auto-approved" and a wildcard regex for "everyone".

Zack, this is a feature in release 2.1.0.6. Glad to know there is external interest for this.
