Introduce reading passwd/group entries directly from SAM/AD, thus allowing
to do without /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf
file to configure passwd/group handling.
Cygwin can now generate passwd/group entries directly from Windows user
databases (local SAM or Active Directory), thus allowing to run Cygwin
without having to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. Introduce
/etc/nsswitch.conf file to configure passwd/group handling.

For bordercase which require to use /etc/passwd and /etc/group files,
