>Description:

There is no ${PW} make variable defined to give the path to pw(8),
which seems an odd omission to me.  For instance, its the only 
tool I've found that can translate a group name to the corresponding
gid number:

   ${PW} group show -n ${GROUP} | ${CUT} -d : -f 3

which should be compatible with NIS- or LDAP- based group databases
as well as the default /etc/group flat-file.
