It is not possible to put SIP URLs like "sip:19081@fwd.pulver.com" in
the GECOS phone field. This should be allowed, because such URLs are
used for Voice over IP.

Since the GECOS information is stored in the passwd file, where colons
are used as delimiters, some means of quoting or encoding the colon will
be necessary.

Example:

screwdriver% chfn
Password: 
Changing the user information for galen
Enter the new value, or press return for the default
        Full Name: Galen Hancock
        Room Number []: 
        Work Phone []: sip:19081@fwd.pulver.com
        Home Phone []: 
chfn: invalid work phone: "sip:19081@fwd.pulver.com"

changes needed and the high probability of breaking a lot of stuff it
would trigeer.
