cygutils contains several utilities from util-linux.  The userfoo tools 
are normally found in the 'shadow-utils' package on RPM-based linux systems.

I'm not sure if the userfoo commands belong in cygutils -- or in a 
package of their own, as Igor suggests.  I'll go with whatever the 
community decides -- but right now, it's a moot point.  I haven't seen 
any code.

If anyone is interested in sending me a patch to incorporate the userfoo 
tools into cygutils, see /usr/src/doc/cygutils-1.1.3/HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE
