> ./add-user.sh dustin dustin1 does not work anymore. In previous versions it worked. It has to do with the "theConsole" object being null.
> In the same breadth, the --silent=true option in add-user.sh does not work anymore. Again has to do with the need for "theConsole" object being null.
> The --silent=true option was added because in some environments, System.console() returns null[for example when the Izpack installer calls that script] and the add-user.sh script breaks because of its dependence on System.console() object to print stuff.
> [the "theConsole" object calls the System.console() object]
