I've just found the config disk image of an old system which I used to
test what happens during the upgrade process - worst case testing ;-)

I can find the shadow but now gshadow. I've downloaded the 0.5a
release and there's also no gshadow included in that etc.tar.gz.

What I still have to try is to not repackage the 0.5 etc.tar.gz
to etc.tar.bz2. Will it catch that? We will see :-)
