There don't have to be any adduser variables to support this, right?

Currently I have these 4:
FIRST_UID = 1000
LAST_UID  = 29999
FIRST_SYSTEM_UID = 100
LAST_SYSTEM_UID = 999

adduser will only allocate outside of these ranges if asked for a
specific id.  I will document the above user and system ranges and the
other ranges in adduser.conf(5) and adduser(8).

I'll release a new adduser within the next day.
