Integrate URRegistration into bb? #11

I don't believe they share any requests in common, but it could be convenient to have both tools integrated into one, since they are related in a way. Not sure if this is a good idea.

The registration doesn't go through BlackBoard, while the other bb commands do. Yet, registration fits the idea of "do things with your University account from the command line". If the tools are merged then the name bb might not be appropriate. I propose we make a new program,ur, which has registration as a subcommand and proxies Blackboard-related subcommands to bb. Then we can be free to add other non-blackboard things like Virtual EMS, Faculty/Student Directory, Mail forwarding, Email aliases (if someone actually wants to implement those), and bb can be left to do Blackboard things.

+1 for @clehner's idea. I would love to be able to register from the command line, and I agree that, as registration does not go through blackboard, it should be part of its own or a general ur command.

Note that urreg is working - you can currently register from the command line. You just can't both register and do blackboard stuff from the same program currently.

I should of done my research first. However, it would still be nice to have both handled by the same program, IMHO.
