There are benefits from the changes, such as no getpwuid calls if it's 
configured a certain way, but in the worst case the getpwuid function would 
be called twice instead of only once.

A problem I see with the patch is in the auth_mysql_new_apop function.  If I 
select only 4 rows and have not set the auth-mysql-mail-group config option, 
the gid will never be set.  The auth_mysql_new_user_pass function would have 
the same problem.
