I don't think this is what the "delete user script" was originally
intended for.  I'll have to check and see how the code has changed since 
then to verify.

Win2k/XP does issue a "delete my account" when you leave a domain, but 
this is a different case than where the "delete user script" used to be 
called.  I'll check.
