What's new:
-----------
- 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.
- Allow quoting of arguments to the CYGWIN environment variable, i.e.,
set CYGWIN=error_start="c:\bin\someprogram -T"
What changed:
-------------
Bug Fixes
---------
- Try harder to do the right thing in the presence of console screen buffers,
i.e., never clear the screen buffer unless the user asked for it. Also
fix screen escape sequences which attempted to scroll the screen.

Addresses: A random irc #cygwin complaint.
- Fix return value from getgrouplist function to behave like glibc.
- Fix initialization of open_memstream which could lead to dropping the
entire string.
