[Patch] : adduser - new functionality

[William Michael Grim]

Hey there!

I have included a patch to adduser that allows a user to change the
permissions with which adduser sets a new home directory.  I made this
change because I ALWAYS forget to set up a default permission since most
variants of Unix already set it to 0751 for me.

I also included a diff of the man page for adduser that gives some
information about the change.

I tried testing this in as many possible ways as I could.  I'd like to
think I did a good job, but only time can tell.

Should I send this patch somewhere else or not?
