Recent discussions on -arch surprisingly managed to avoid the knee-jerk
reactions due to other nscd _implementations_ while discussing the
need to make /bin dynamically loaded to support NSS &co. The alternative
(lookupd) approach was raised and seemed to find favour, but I don't
know if that tactic has been adopted. FWIW I think it makes a lot of
sense.
