Emacs assumes Posix-compliant APIs wrt UID/GID/EUID. Platforms that
don't comply with the Posix semantics of these APIs should either
(a) become more compliant, or (b) modify the Emacs sources with
platform-specific code or #ifdef's to work around the lack of
compliance. (Emacs maintainers generally prefer the former
possibility, for obvious reasons.) All the other platforms do one
or the other; why should Cygwin be different? why should we change
long-standing Emacs code because one platform turns out to be non-
compliant, and the user refuses to work around the problem by
configuring his system in a slightly different way?
