[Wien] Multiple users & w2web

[Jeff Spirko]

The attached perl program generates the text needed to add a user to
w2web.  Once the program is run, take the last line of output and
add it to your w2web.users file, wherever that is.  (Under your
$HOME directory, in .w2web/$(hostname -f)/conf directory, probably.)

The study of non-linear physics is like the study of non-elephant biology.

All theoretical chemistry is really physics;
and all theoretical chemists know it. -- Richard P. Feynman
