based on patch by Isaac Dunham, moved to its own file to avoid
increasing bss on static linked programs not using this nonstandard
function but using the standard getgrent function, and vice versa.
the old behavior of exposing nothing except plain ISO C can be
obtained by defining __STRICT_ANSI__ or using a compiler option (such
as -std=c99) that predefines it. the new default featureset is POSIX
with XSI plus _BSD_SOURCE. any explicit feature test macros will
inhibit the default.
installation docs have also been updated to reflect this change.
