Methodology for case like this is:
- first update english man page. In this case man/passwd.1.xml
  because man/passwd.1 is generated from this file which is also
  reference resource for generate translated version in other language
  using XML -> xml2po -> .po file -> translated XML files -> roff
  translated man pages infrastructure,
- prepare translations in man/<lang>/<lang>.po file.

During prepare man/pl/pl.po I'm trying review each original en man page
before finish pl translation and after this I'm completing all necessary
translations in man/pl/pl.po .. but if you will look on man/pl there is
no updated pl passwd.1 ;)

So .. if you see man page like passwd.1 fill free to *help* update
reference en XML document :)

Personally I'm review only (IIRC): chage.1, chsh.1, groupmod.8,
lastlog.8, vipw.8. So this man pages are (probably) up-to-date.
And don't get me wrong: passing even above man pages before next pair
eye balls will be good because .. I'm not native english spikier.

To all man pages translators: please do not dumbly translate en to ->
<foo> language. If you will see something (in your opinion) badly formed
in en man page please fix this before finish translation and/or if you
have any doubts please ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] list.
