	* nscd/grpcache.c (cache_grpinit): Let calloc do the multiplication.

	* nscd/pwdcache.c (cache_pwdinit): Use thread attribute to detach
	thread and no pthread_detach.

	* nscd/nscd.c: Rewrite to use argp instead of getopt.

	* config.make.in: Likewise.

+{TK} For faster NIS lookups, glibc uses the /var/yp/binding/ files
