I ran some months ago into a case where the uid was expected to be
'x'. I think that was a cron application, I'm not sure. Anyway, having
the option there is good.

About conflicts, both useradd and groupadd fails when the number is
already assigned to another user, so no worries.

Do you think it's necessary to have a different treatment for system
and user uid/gid's? Or maybe just limit the ids to 100-999? (I can't
see why one would want to use Resources/Requirements to add a normal
user account, so setting a range makes sense).
