passwd-group post install scripts

Since there has been a few questions from people not having their domain
account automatically added to /etc/passwd I re-wrote passwd-grp.bat to do
this, although as yet only it has only been tested on NT/2k/95/98. 
Would this be a wanted change ? 
Would it be a better idea to send a patch for passwd-grp.sh as at the moment
this does nothing or is overwritten depending when it is run. (on 98 the .sh
ran before the .bat and so the created /etc/passwd was overwritten, on 2000
the .bat ran first so the .sh didn't do anything.)
Also I haven't found a good way of only adding domain groups the user is a
member of (windows find is a very crippled grep) so I left it at all Domain
groups (users, admins, computers etc) which isn't very satisfactory.)
anyway,
Comments/laughter/derision welcome.
