[support] User Uploads

[Michael Prasuhn]

All file upload/attachments that I'm aware of for drupal, will change  
the file name when a duplicate is detected.

For instance the core upload module will add '_n' to the end of a file  
name, where n is the next available integer. It is also smart enough  
to do this before the file name's extension.

For example

http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal.patch
http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal_1.patch
......and so on......
http://drupal.org/files/issues/drupal_80.patch
