Actually I'm working on a method to get rid of /etc/passwd and
/etc/group.  I have a partially working implementation now, which
generates passwd and group entries by fetching the infos from Windows on
the fly, compatible to the uids/gids and user/group names to
SFU/Interix.

It's already working nicely, but it's still lacking if you try to do
stuff like chmod or chown or, FWIW, ssh into the machine.  It's still a
lot to do.
