Root/Administrator privileges from cygwin terminal

[Kevin Layer]

I use this:

    userchar='$'
    if [ "${WINDIR-}" ]; then
	if net session > /dev/null 2>&1; then
	    userchar='#'
	fi
    fi
    export PS1="$PS1$userchar "

I don't remember where I saw it, but it works well for me.

I don't know if it's worse or better, but I'll throw it out there.

Kevin
