Maybe not so "less intrusive" after all.  I broke out the etc handling
stuff into a separate class and moved even more functionality into
pwdgrp than you did.  I hope Corinna approves.

I also hope that I got all of your changes that didn't conflict with my
work in.  I'm generating a new snapshot now.  I guess we should ask
people to test it for a couple of days before I release 1.3.19.  Sigh.

Oh, and I just removed the warning when FindFirstChangeNotification
fails.  This should make the Novell users happy even though the
performance will be less than wonderful.

Thanks for your patch and your insight, Pierre.
