vipw does not work with some editors

["Mantas M." <grawity@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some editors, such as Vim with 'writebackup' mode enabled, use "atomic
save" in which the old file is deleted and a new one with the same name
created in its place. When `vipw` is used with such an editor, it never
detects changes, because it compares fstat() on a file descriptor
pointing to the old file.

Can this be fixed in `vipw`, or should I just start configuring Vim to
stop making backups for vipw's temporary files?
