build

login, expiry, and su hardcode /bin/passwd insted of /usr/bin/passwd. This
may lead to the impossibility of renewing a password when it is expired.
'''Explanation''' Shadow's configure tests whether /usr/bin/passwd exists,
and if not, hardcodes /bin/passwd. This is close to a bug: it should
harcode $prefix/bin/passwd. Anyway...
'''Solution''' touch /usr/bin/passwd before building shadow.
'''Possible side effect''' None that I can think of: the empty file is
almost immediately replaced when installing shadow.
