I've debated about reviving 'su' as it was in coreutils 8.15 into its
own package, unlikely to ever be further updated (except maybe
recompiled as needed), but that takes work and free time, so anyone else
is more than welcome to attempt it first.

You could always compile it yourself, from the 8.15 sources as patched
downstream for cygwin.
