DJGPP already has getpwuid in its library, so the problem doesn't
exist in the MS-DOS port.

If Windows doesn't have this problem, then I guess we only need to
worry about Unix systems that don't have this function.  I don't know
whether this is a practical consideration, just that the previous
Posix standard didn't define it.
