Actually, it's probably not so bad just to have shell functions defined 
in a file that get directly inserted into the head of the +USERGROUP 
script.  That would remove the need for the extra helper scripts.  The 
file defining the shell functions useradd() and groupadd() would be 
unique to each platform.
