Couple more questions...

What if we want the user created on install, removed during uninstall,
but NOT removed during the "uninstall" that occurs during major
upgrade?  Do we create two components with a <util:User> component one
with RemoveOnUninstall="yes" and the other with RemoveOnUninstall="no"
and use a condition (where?) to select the correct component during
the correct scenario?

The add user to group mechanism seems fine, but the issue I see with
the create user function being performed as a deferred action is that
the end user feed back is horrible. What if we are given an invalid
name, Password complexity, etc.  All the user gets to see is a "error
creating user account -2234234342".  And rollback starts.

Whereas if we were to create the user during the UI sequence, we can
show the user the crazy error and dump them back on the account dialog
asking them to verify the information they provided.


This isn't as much of an issue for the group membership function as we
can only add the user to existing groups.  So, a simple type-o won't
fail the install.
