users file and "!*" comparisons

[Daniel Larsson]

I've encountered an unintuitive behaviour in the users file processing .
I wanted to do something similar to:

DEFAULT Some-Attr !* "", Other-Attr !* ""
        ...

I.e. if neither "Some-Attr" nor "Other-Attr" is present, it should
match.

However, this doesn't work, as paircmp in valuepair.c immediately
returns the result as soon as an operator "!*" is found in the check
list. No other check items in the user entry is checked. This seems to
apply to both 1.1 and 2.0 branches.

Before I try to patch this, is this intended for some reason?
