Yeah, gid_t would definitely be clearer -- though technically they are
the same...

Note that in many places, an idarray_t is used instead of a single uid_t
or gid_t; which is *always* defined to uid_t.

gid_t in fact is used only in a single place so far...

Still, this probably should be fixed. How about a patch? :-)
