 Can we update the guide to indicate the return values for many of the tcl
 extensions listed here:
 http://guide.macports.org/#reference.tcl-extensions

 For example, there is no indication that {{{existsuser}}} returns the UID
 for a user that exists - what does it return when no user exists - 0?
 Also, it would be helpful to know whether {{{adduser}}} skips, replaces,
 or updates specific fields for any user that already exists.  Does
 {{{adduser}}} provide any return values to indicate success or failure (or
 otherwise - like UID)?

 Thanks, Darren
