another user mentioned that perhaps useradd could check the setting of 
USERGROUPS_ENAB in login.defs to determine the behavior:

 - if USERGROUPS_ENAB is disabled and -G is used, then useradd should behave 
as if the first group passed to -G was given to -g
	# useradd -G gfoo,gfoo2 ufoo
should act the same as
	# useradd -G gfoo,gfoo2 -g gfoo ufoo

 - if USERGROUPS_ENAB is enabled or -G is not used, then the current behavior 
remains the same

doesnt matter to me either way, just passing along some interesting ideas
