[daisy] Running Example under daisy 2.0

[Robert Cecil]

Paul/Marc

Thanks for explanation. If i'm not mistaken this js snippet from Greg  
was taken verbatim from the 1.5 docs (I think the section is  
4.2.1.5.3 Creating a user). So, presumably these docs need a bit of  
sprucing up (adding switchrole(), and use of the Daisy js object vs.  
raw calls to the Repo API).
