>Description:
	pw_edit (called by vipw) does not properly handle EDITOR
	environment variables where the editor is specified with
	additional arguments.

>How-To-Repeat:
	EDITOR='emacs -nw' vipw

>Fix:
	The easy fix is to use sh to execute the editor
	variable. Otherwise, have to parse the arguments and add them
	to the execlp call.
