: 
: PASSWD?=	/etc/passwd
: GROUP?=		/etc/group
: 
: uidgid.h:	${PASSWD} ${GROUP}

: 	perl -ne 'split(/:/); print ("#define\tGID_", uc($_[0]), "\t", \
: 				     $_[2], "\n");' ${GROUP} >>${.TARGET}
: 
: ...add this to <bsd.kmod.mk> and include "uidgid.h" as necessary in
: source files.

Hmmm, I like it...  But it does suffer from one problem that we
already have enough of in our tree.  The build on one system, install
on another problem.  It would be better than the current situtation.
