How can modify the skel so that it adds subdirectories that are custom to each
user account?

For instance say I want to add a user bpfish and so I create a directory /etc/skel/Web but
but when I adduser bpfish I want to create /home/bpfish/Web/bpfish. So when I adduser jmclam
the system creates /home/bpfish/Web/jmclam.

I know I can write a customized "adduser" script that does all this, but I was wondering if
I can leverage existing stuff.

Thanks
Matt
