I am looking at adding MySQL support to local delivery.

local/alias.c and include.c call mypwuid().
local/dotforward.c and mailbox.c call mypwnam().

These are the only places these two functions are called.
I am thinking that a call to MySQL to fill in the
pwd structure would work well here. However, there
are several calls to getpwuid and getpwnam from other
locations. Is there a reason that mypwuid is not
used universally?
