Oh, that's an interesting thought. Makes a lot of sense except that it
leaves a layer of cruft in that the dbmail-adduser wrapper would have to
still use the awful command line syntax now in place :-\
dbmail-user could be one of those binaries that has different default
behaviour depending upon argv[0], which is the progam name as called. Call
it dbmail-user and it has no default mode. Call it dbmail-adduser and it
wants to know who to add. Call it dbmail-deluser and it wants to know who to
delete. Like gzip/gunzip, though, a command line flag could use any of them
for any function, however.
