>Description:
	Our implementation of Hesiod does not use the grplist type
	which is specified by the MIT implementation.  For example,

		$ hesinfo elric grplist
		staff:20:wheel:0:wsrc:9:dialer:117:chaos:666

	This map provides quick lookups of user->group membership
	and should be used by getgrouplist(3).

	Currently, our Hesiod implementation iterates over the
	entire list of groups using the non-standard group-<n>.group
	structure.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Use Hesiod and note its behaviour.
>Fix:
	I'm working on some code for this one.  Basically, the
	approach is to try the grplist map and if it does not exist
	fall back to the iterated (group-<n>.group) method.
