Subject: <shadow.h> function: fgetspent_r

Hi muslers,

fgetspent_r[1] is a re-entrant version of fgetspent which stores all
strings in a caller-provided buffer to ensure that the memory is owned
by the caller instead of by the system.

It is present in Solaris 9[2] and higher, and glibc[3] Linux.  It is
used by AccountsService[4].

Is it possible to add this API to musl?  I could try to write it, if so.

Best,
--arw
