man/po/POTFILES.in, man/Makefile.am: Generate the PO files for the
manpages in the man/po directory (instead of man/<lang>). Use a
Makefile.in.in based on gettext's one. This ensure that the PO are
generated before being used in the <lang> directories.

users. (was sometimes <emphasis remap='I'>)
* Use <option> vor the variable names. This
makes the manpage much more readable.

SHA_CRYPT_MIN_ROUNDS, SHA_CRYPT_MAX_ROUNDS): Mention that command
line option may supersede the system setting.
* Document the variables used by chpasswd
and chgpasswd.
variable: MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP. Used for the split groups support.

operation. They are called after the database is actually opened
and parse, or before it is closed.

close group to split groups if MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP is set.
This fixes gpasswd and chgpasswd when split groups are used.

hooks for these databases. (unsure about what should be the gshadow
behavior for split groups)

MD5_CRYPT_ENAB, SHA_CRYPT_MIN_ROUNDS, and SHA_CRYPT_MAX_ROUNDS
variables.
