* Support for Cygwin user names different from the Windows username.
This is a really fat problem.
Who needs this functionality?
Is it some legacy of passwd(5) compatibility, such as the wish to have
colons in Windows login names?
Does the move to AD/SAM eliminate the original need, so that you
actually have *two* reasons to stop paying the runtime expense?
