Is is possible that after users fill in a extensive signup form, that they first get send to a summary page where the can confirm the information they have just filled in and then finalize the signup?

+1 for this, especially if the text could be customized, like the confirmation email.

Sorry, not possible. Would make the code more confusing, and would add a needless step for the vast majority of users.

The needless step part is open for debate. If it where to be an option, users can choose to have a step like this. It is a very common feature on websites, for ecommerce stores I would say it is a default feature to first view your order before finilising it. I say let the vast majority of users deside whether they want this or not.

I am not a programmer so I can't say if code is confusing or not, but I to me all code more then ten lines looks confusing ;)
What I'm trying to respecfully say is that to me it seems that "confusing code" could not really be an argument. And generating a overview of the input from fields before writing it to the database doesn't seem like extreme coding, but again I am not a programmer.

Having played around with the various form code in this module lately in order to make a patch, I concur with dww that the forms involved are already pretty complex.
Users can already edit their signup data after creating it anyway.
Though I am planning better integration with Ubercart, and for details which can affect price, it's fair to let users review. But that would probably work with the UC integration part.

Here is a module that adds a confirmation/summary page for signup.

It is also a neat example on how to alter a form to make it multi-step.
