I just realized that this means getpwent() turns into an AD database 
linear scan at AD sites.

Hmmm...

I think I'm still in favor of the idea.  It seems like a "Doctor, it 
hurts when I do a complete linear AD scan!" issue.  ("So don't do that, 
then!")

This could make Cygwin a positive force for getting these old programs 
updated to use modern APIs.
