Severity: normal

Hello,
Cross-building shadow almost works, the only issue is that configure
uses a runtime test for the sizes of uid_t and gid_t. The attached patch
replaces that by a build-time test.

Anyone who thinks UNIX is intuitive should be forced to write 5000 lines of
code using nothing but vi or emacs. AAAAACK!
(Discussion in comp.os.linux.misc on the intuitiveness of commands, especially
Emacs.)
