I will, the patch is intended for people wanting to patch current stable (which 
I'm doing in the gentoo ebuild)

What I've ought to have made is a sane default. If someone were compiling from 
a base system into a chroot it should do the right thing. If they or the 
chroot-compile programm are using DESTDIR - which seems to be a standard - it 
will allow for porting with minimal amount. Of course you're right, most 
distributions will want to handle files in /etc separateley anyway. If the 
"append to /etc/shells"-routine is not needed, the packager will just have to 
comment out that bit of Makefile.in.

Cheers,

PS: Patch for CVS will be delivered later
PPS: For anyone interested in DESTDIR, this explanation is even nicer than the
