re: pwhash - added -x option



hi JP.

can you use "cvs diff -up"?  (unified diff and likely function
name options.)  you can put "diff -up" in ~/.cvsrc.

i think i'd rather this didn't try to be tricky and re-use 2
lines, but have the case 'x' be its own chunk, and perhaps it
should grow a "DO_CHECK" that is set instead of DO_SED, and
that print_passwd() considers the same as DO_SED.  this should
only total less than 10 extra lines without conflating options.

thanks!
