For some reason I don't get your changes from CVS. I just tried it
and it doesn't contain any changes.

However, a root check isn't valid for Cygwin. Admins are either
non existant (Windows 9x/ME) or they are a whole group of people
having a combination of special "user rights" (NT/W2K).

A portable solution for root checks at all would be to substitute
all checks for uid/gid 0 by two OS dependent check_uid_root(uid),
check_gid_root() functions.
