I'm working at an university computer lab with over 6000 users in our
Active Directory. You can imagine how long it takes for Cygwin Setup to
add all of them into passwd. I know Setup calls mkpasswd with the "-l"
option, but it doesn't help when I run the installation on a Windows server.
Maybe it's better to change mkpasswd and mkgroup so that they do nothing
when called with "-l" on a Server, or maybe there are some other ways to
resolve it. Actually I don't care, I just don't like to wait an hour or
two for passwd-grp.sh.
