While the GIT format is great for showing how you constructed the patch,
it's also rather hard to read for 'what is the end result'.  That said
code looks pretty good, as I would expect, and it is nice to get rid of
the build farm hacks.

My one comment is about nwrap_getgrgid_r().  Is it really safe/correct
to have it calling nwrap_getgrgid() internally?  Shouldn't that be the
other way around?
