retitle 190252 [PROPOSED UPSTREAM PATCH] vipw should offer a quiet mode and display to stdout
thanks

In http://bugs.debian.org/190252, the bug submitter complains about
vipw displaying the "%s is unchanged" message on stderr while stdout
would be more logical (after all, this is only an informative
message).

The attached trivial patch achieves this. I do not think that
implementing a "quiet" option is worth it...unles you think otherwise,
Tomasz.

Would you consider applying this to your CVS?

We will not backport it to 4.0.3 but will rather wait for the resync
to close the relevant Debian bug.
