Right.  That's by design.  -D is deprecated.  -L of the new mkpasswd/
mkgroup (which hopefully are not used by users a lot in future) only
prefix *foreign* machines.  Otherwise the naming rules of the underlying
Cygwin SAM/AD naming rules are strictly followed so that a defaultt
passwd or group file will be identical to the output generated by
the "db" mechanism[1].

The csih scrip needs a thorough kick anyway.  I'm working on and off
on that, but it's not easy due to a couple of very ingrained assumptions
not valid anymore.  I hope to get a new csih working next week.

I disabled this deliberately[1].
