Sure, no worries.  I wasn't talking about removing support for the
/etc/fstab and /etc/nsswitch.conf files, but to add another technique
for admins.  The files are absolutely required for non-AD machines
anyway.  The idea was going along these lines.  At Cygwin startup:

- On a domain machine, request the configuration extension for
  nsswitch.conf from AD.  If it exists use it.
- If it doesn't exist, or if the machine is a non-AD machine, check the
  file.

Same for /etc/fstab.

After creating the passwd entry for the current user, check for
the user's cygwinFstab attribute.  If it's not empty, use it,
otherwise, or on a non-AD machine, use the /etc/fstab.d/$USER file.
