One of the points of moving it out of Sorcery was so the Grimoire Team
could update the IDs without a new Sorcery release as well as modify
the account setup, again, without modifying Sorcery.

Creating a specific account/group is already there in a systematic
method: use `create_account` where you want the accounts created. If
you're wanting the account creation to always happen in the same place
then we just need to write down that `create_account` should be called
in file <blargh> if it's going to be called at all.
