`vipw' is good enough for bootstrapping to -current.

For 2.2.5R we apparently required manual configuration to add group
network which is required for at least the installation of ppp.
This didn't seem to cause many problems.  `make release' should
use a new version of /etc/passwd in the chroot tree so it shouldn't
be affected.
