This means that our mkgroup program needs to generate these other
entries, right?

Overall, I still think we need to get rid of /etc/passwd and
/etc/group in favor of getting the information from NT itself.
Cygwin would handle accesses to /etc/passswd and /etc/group
specially, like /dev/null now.

What do you think?
