Hi to all, 
this  patch reduces size of the passwd applet.
It is based on hints and work of:
Vladimir Oleynik,
Mike Frysinger,
Bernard Fischer,
Roberto A. Foglietta. 
The patch is big and needs auditing and review by the list members
for the sake of security.
So  i am posting it also as drop in replacement
to make code auditing easier.
Size reduction at the moment is:
text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   3166       0     160    3326     cfe passwd.o.orig
text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   2262       8     289    2559     9ff passwd.o.

This is 1.2 stuff ;-) .

Ciao and TIA for your help,

Tito
