Hello,

as I had been working on the installer lately [1],
I tried to tackle this bug also, I have it mostly
working.

I added support for openrc-based init systems.

I opted to support both adduser & useradd, changed
some tool calls to work on busybox, etc... Then
sprinkled a bit of cleanup & polish over the top.

It's not finished, because I could not test it. I
have a problem building the binary-tarball since I
switched to the 1.1.0 release and I've yet to try
to build on an earlier version.

Stay tuned, patches incoming for review.
