The signature of pw_policy_test() has changed from:

	int pw_policy_test(char *, void *, int);
to:
	int pw_policy_test(struct pw_policy *, char *pw);

This means that you need to either:

1- Bump the major of libutil and all other libraries that depend on it
--or--
2- Version the symbols in pw_policy.c that have changed signature,  
and keep the old versions of the functions around for ABI compatibility.
