Actually, it's just a little bit more than that.

userid:password:full name (if known... email otherwise):liststatus:email

daniel:daniel:Test User Account "daniel":0:rrognlie@gamerz.net


the list status is no longer used, but i've not deleted it yet.


The signup, add, etc. commands are all part of "admin.c"

Those are each just invokations of same.  It checks argv[0] to 
determine what behaviour to use.
