I've checked both test_pwd and test_grp on SFs alpha box in the compile
farm and both run OK. It seems that grp.getgrall() doesn't return proper
entries in the snakefarm build (looking at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/xenofarm/python/files/757_17/python-testlog.txt).

The docstring for grp states that the passwd entry is a string, but the
code sets the passwd entry to Py_None if p->gr_passwd is NULL.

So should we fix the documentation and the test for 2.3?
