Subject:	supplement cygwin_logon_user with CreateProcessWithLogonW?

On Windows 2000, no extra privileges are needed to run
CreateProcessWithLogonW (as opposed to the LogonUser / CreateProcessAsUser)
combination. This is because CreateProcessWithLogonW utilises the RunAs
(2000)/SecondaryLogon (XP) service. Would it make sense to modify Cygwin so
this could be used in place of cygwin_logon_user if one so wished? If so,
I'll go about creating a patch.

Chris
