Why a date??? I thought about it BUT the date is already in the spell's
HISTORY entry so I don't see a real reason for it.

But IF it would go then it would be as a comment and not part of the name
reason being I don't want all the info coded in the name as that would
produce something like:

zbly-bsa-blt-bah-tea-hie-ied-diod-thiao.diff and so on
as more fields would get added.

Also I'm thinking about rewamping our user/group handling as atm imho
it's just a hack. I'm thinking about writting a frontend to the useradd/pw
tools that would make it more friendly to porting to other platforms.

The thing I don't like about our current handling is that I can't define
anything BUT name and g/udi which is annoying. I'd basicaly like to be able to
define everything from name to shell with comments and so on.

I'd also like a clear definition from where onward are user G/UIDS.
I'd go with 500 for both but if someone else hase a better idea then please.

The only thing is I'd like to have BOTH gid and uid start at the same number.
