[PATCH] cygcheck parsing of id output


Hi,

The attached patch allows cygcheck to handle spaces, commas, and
*matching* parentheses in user and group names in the "id" output.
There's some code sharing in parsing the user and group names, but that
could be refactored in a later cleanup.

One issue that also came up is the old "run a cygwin program from a
non-cygwin program from an xterm" issue -- when running cygcheck from an
xterm, id pops up a separate window and cygcheck gets no output from id...
I'm not sure how to fix this.  One thing that comes to mind is making
cygcheck aware of Cygwin ptys, but I don't know how hard that would be...

	* cygcheck.cc (pretty_id): Parse id output without
	using strtok.
	(match_paren): New static function.
