I just checked on the OpenGroup web site, and it looks like Andrey's
right -- getgr*() rely on <grp.h> only.

However, the standard expects gid_t to be defined in <unistd.h>, so if
you just need gid_t, and not prototypes for getgr*(), then that's the
one to include.

Sorry about the confusion.  For what it's worth, I just asked a
question.  I didn't make any assertions originally.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
