[PD-announce] more objects: passwd utils

Call me crazy, but I just made some objects so that you can get the info from /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and convert between UIDs/GIDs and usernames/groupnames. Its part of my effort to provide as many low level primitives within Pd as possible. Or really, its make a libc interface for Pd.

Of course, these will be included in the next Pd-extended release. I haven't touched Windows yet, but I plan on it.
