/etc/passwd -> /proc/mkpasswd


I wonder if it would be possible to do something like this:

/etc/passwd -> /proc/mkpasswd
/etc/group -> /proc/mkgroup

These sym links would make the 2 files dynamic and would simplify setup
somewhat.

We could use a CYGWIN environment variable to set whether /proc/mkpasswd
would run with -l or -d or both

It would also be nice with we could perhaps use the SAM accounts
"description" field to set the home path and shell.

Just a thought,
Gérald
