yep.
i mean, i can get away with getenv('USER') and to be honest, it
doesn't bother me. it might bother other people though.
btw, just so you know: i know it _is_ possible else how would
cygwin work?
... and i do know that jeremy had a hell of a time getting setuid()
to work. it's almost impossible: none of the published APIs
describe how to do it. you can 'impersonate' an existing context
e.g. ImpersonateNamedPipeClient or similar but you can't
actually do a sudo. okay, it's been done, recently, and there
does exist SU.EXE, but still.... :)
