A little trick you can use -- at least in any modern shell.

Issue your SUSPEND key (usually ^Z) and drop to the shell and
add the user. Then type "fg" and return to the install script.

We will look at this -- I *think* it is actually an ExtUtils::MakeMaker

quite a bit and it will be changed somewhat for 4.7 and up.
