common/config.sh currently tries to find the top directory by looking
for .git. There are also many places under tests/ where we use
hard-coded ../../.. to find things like ${TOP_DIR}/lib.
We don't actually ship the tests with 'make dist'. So we will
be exporting tests/ as a separate tarball. In particular, I want
to then import this in the debian package. However, there it will
be under shadow.git/debian/tests, not shadow.git/tests.
To support this, accept the environment variable BUILD_BASE_DIR,
which should point to shadow.git.
An alternative would be to move the tests to their own git
tree. However, keeping tests in separate git tree tends to
lead to repos getting out of sync. And we'd still need to accept
something like BUILD_BASE_DIR.
Note there are a lot of tests under run-all, which I'm not converting
as they currently are not being run in CI, so I'm more likely to
break something.

shadow-utils
Introduction
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
