Does this mean there is no caching without cygserver running?

This one always seemed a bit odd to me.  The only use I could think up
is if your Windows username contains non-ASCII or spaces and you'd want
to avoid dealing with that within Cygwin.

I can't see a pressing need for configurable separators here.  Domain
users are probably already accustomed to seeing Domain\User, so that'd
be a natural default unless somebody had a pretty good reason for
something different.
