You can always use some simple jquery/javascript to remove the "validate[required]" class on the asp button OnClientClick and then add it back on the other buttons OnClientClick which is easier than changing the validationengine files or replacing them. An example of this would be:

The javascript would be:

function disableReg() {
    $('#<%=txtName.ClientID%>').removeClass("validate[required]");
    $('#<%=txtEmail.ClientID%>').removeClass("validate[required]");
    $('#<%=txtUser.ClientID%>').addClass("validate[required]");
    $('#<%=txtPass.ClientID%>').addClass("validate[required]");
    return true;
}

function disableLogin() {
    $('#<%=txtUser.ClientID%>').removeClass("validate[required]");
    $('#<%=txtPass.ClientID%>').removeClass("validate[required]");
    $('#<%=txtName.ClientID%>').addClass("validate[required]");
    $('#<%=txtEmail.ClientID%>').addClass("validate[required]");
    return true;
}
