Ding!  "Oh god, not another one!" *plonk*

We need nsswitch type functionality in /bin/sh.  To the people who want to
make it static, lets see some static binary dlopen() support or a nsswitch
proxy system.

If half as much effort had been spent on implementing such a thing as there
has been hand wringing, then we'd have the best of both worlds by now.

I'm sorry to sound harsh, but its the reality of the situation.  Code
speaks louder than words.
