[PD-announce] more objects: passwd utils

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Call me crazy, but I just made some objects so that you can get the  
info from /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and convert between UIDs/GIDs  
and usernames/groupnames.  Its part of my effort to provide as many  
low level primitives within Pd as possible.  Or really, its make a  
libc interface for Pd.

Of course, these will be included in the next Pd-extended release.  I  
haven't touched Windows yet, but I plan on it.
