Summary: etch group failback error

Initial Comment:
The failback of the group ownerschip is wrong. It  crashes:
{{{
 ./etch --generate-all --interactive --server http://localhost:3000
Destination /tmp/otherfile for link /tmp/etchdemo/link does not exist,  consider the allow_nonexistent_dest flag if appropriate.
./etch.rb:1618:in `lookup_gid': uninitialized constant Errno::ArgumentError (NameError)
	from ./etch.rb:307:in `process'
	from ./etch.rb:156:in `process_until_done'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/element.rb:892:in `each'

	from ./etch.rb:114:in `times'
	from ./etch.rb:114:in `process_until_done'

}}}

Here is the fix in etch.rb:
{{{
      begin
        gr = Etc.getgrnam(group)
        gid = gr.gid
      rescue ArgumentError
        puts "config.xml requests group #{group}, but that group can't be found.  Using GID 0."
        gid = 0
      end
}}}

Message:
Sorry for the slow reply, I didn't realize I needed to configure Tracker to
email me when there were new bugs.  Strangely enough I found this bug
myself right about the same time you did.  My fix to lookup_gid is exactly
the same as yours, and I made the same fix in lookup_uid.  I'll go ahead
and roll a new release.
