This effectively substitutes getgrouplist called on the current user for getgroups. In 3.x, I believe the correct action will be to provide direct access to getgrouplist which is while not POSIX (yet?), is widely available.

As a policy, adding non-POSIX functions to the posix module is perfectly fine, as long as there is an autoconf test for it (plain ifdefs are gruntingly accepted also).
