I don't think anyone will deny that this is a kluge. However, we are
not going to resurrect the separate-password-file thing (that was a
worse kluge, especially when used for this purpose), and we are not
going to postpone 7.3 while we think about a nicer solution. So, simple
is beautiful for now. If there are enough people actually *using* this
feature to make it worth improving, we can improve it ... later.
