http://cygwin.com/packages 

  Since 'id' on its own might give you too many matches, it's worth mentioning
the handy trick that (this being 'doze not linux really) the full name of the
program is of course 'id.exe'.

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=id.exe

  That narrows it down sufficiently...


    cheers,
