    The trick is to get the system to build you an /etc - see how mergemaster does
    it (runs make in the right place basically)

    For passwd stuff I merge /etc/master.passwd and then run cap_mkdb to rebuild
    the other 3 files based on it.

    Also run newaliases when aliases are touched, and cap_mkdb for login.conf.
