RE: Break the 65 chars :-)

The output from the -l0[pn] solutions includes C-@ characters (pipe through
cat -v to see...):

admins:^@ root, administrator
^@users:^@ me
^@

ugh!

A sub-optimal fix:

-p0 s/(.*):(.*)/$_{"$2:"}.=" $1,"/ge}for(%_){s/,$/
/

OK... Greg has just introduced me to some "Normal etiquette" (and also
to the "International" perl golf counting method)...

I apologize for not having submited my solution so far; the only reason
why I didn't do it was because I thought you might want to give it a try
without being influenced.

Here it goes:

#!/usr/bin/perl -l0n
/:/;$_{$'.$&}.=" $`,"}{map{s/,$/
/;print}%_
