Well I just tried it on a real passwd with 1100 entries, and 
it was half the speed. All I did was change gen/getpwent.c 
to use DB_BTREE instead of DB_HASH at both the two dbopens
and pwd_mkdb from DB_HASH, &openinfo to DB_BTREE, NULL, and
it took twice as long to remake the database, and change passwords.

I imagine that when we change to btree we will have to change the
way we treat changes to the database and not rebuild everytime.

Of course I could have made a mistake, but "ls" worked with the
changes too.
