I've had a look at this, and cannot find a manage_addUser(), there is a
manage_addUserFolder().. I'm using Zope 2.0.0 incase that changes things.
I'm trying to follow the python in AccessControl, but am not quite up to speed
yet. I'm hoping to add something like:

<!--#if username-->
adding <!--#var username-->
<!--#call "doAddUser(username)"-->
<!--#/if-->

(but obviously not quite exactly that ;)

Any ideas anyone?? It's sure got me beat, I'm a bit fresh at python/Zope to work
it out, it would seem :(
