Description:
how to add a user in programatically:)

Source (Text):

### Create User in acl_users
userfolder = getattr(self, 'acl_users')
user_info = { 'name': id,
              'password': REQUEST['password'],
              'confirm': REQUEST['password_confirm'],
              'roles': list(REQUEST['Groups']),
              'domains': []
             }
userfolder.manage_users(submit='Add', REQUEST=user_info)

Explanation:
we grab the userfolder, prepare a dictionary of things we need to add a user, and then add call the user folder's manage_users method, we don't use a request so we don't get a redirect.
