[Building Sakai] Use Sakai API to add members to site

[Thomas Amsler]

W.R.T. "The eid is the human readable one": This is not always the
case and may be a bit misleading in as much as that folks may
associate the EID with the DisplayID. The EID should be the
institution's enterprise ID, which may or may not be human readable.
Since folks tend to assume that the EID is human readable, they tend
to use it as the displayId. This "misconception" in sakai2 has hurt us
quite a bit and required us to locally modify/fix sakai2.

Best,
-- Thomas
