Jacques Vidrine 46d9306383 = Implement name service switch modules (NSS modules). NSS modules
may be built into libc (`static NSS modules') or dynamically loaded
  via dlopen (`dynamic NSS modules').  Modules are loaded/initialized
  at configuration time (i.e.  when nsdispatch is called and nsswitch.conf
  is read or re-read).

= Make the nsdispatch(3) core thread-safe.

= New status code for nsdispatch(3) `NS_RETURN', currently used to
  signal ERANGE-type issues.

= syslog(3) problems, don't warn/err/abort.

= Try harder to avoid namespace pollution.

= Implement some shims to assist in porting NSS modules written for
  the GNU C Library nsswitch interface.
