For some reason, the idea of setting up Membership in ASP.NET MVC seems really confusing.

Can anyone provide some clear steps to setup the requisite tables, controllers, classes, etc needed to have a working Membership provider?

I know that the Demo that MVC ships with has an Accounts controller. However, should I be using this in my own project? What do I need to get my existing database ready if so? If not, how do I learn what I need to do to implement a membership provider?
