There is two scenarios.
- *.db is empty or no *.db files.
Don't migrate from *.db.
It changes AUTH mechanism what BlueQuartz uses in /etc/sysconfig/ 
buequartz.

- *.db is still exist.
Try to migrate from *.db to flat file.
But, script check the account is already in flat file or not.
It doesn't add account that is in flat file.

I checked this update with the system that use pwdb and that has
already switched to flat file using Brian's site how to.

Of cause, I need more test by many people.
