kern.ngroups (non) setting ... new bounty ?

[rsync.net]

It has been impossible to change kern.ngroups - at least for several years
now.  It was not fixed in either 5.x or 6.x :

It is seemingly a difficult problem:

However it should be solved - we can't be the only ones out there trying
to add a UID to more than 16 groups...

The rsync.net code bounties have been fairly successful this year - two of
the five projects have been completed, and the large "vmware 6 on FreeBSD"
project is now underway.

We'd like to add a new bounty for this kern.ngroups issue.  We are posting
to -hackers today to get some feedback on how long this will take and how
much money might reasonably be expected to lure this work.

     NGROUPS_MAX from syslimits.h?
