On second thought, it would still be a lot of work to get this working
right. The mount flag alone doesn't tell us which UNIX SID the Windows
user SID is mapped to. So you would need to set up some mapping file
which Cygwin would have to read at startup, or the passwd file would
need YA special case for the pw_gecos field. Ick.
