Deal!

The morning shift will have a look, but here's a question, Yaakov.

I assume you want the full group list, represented by the user's token
if one would like to construct the token, right?

If so, that requires to create a SID list by fetching the information
from the local SAM and AD, quite similar to the initgroups function.

On second thought, that would be practically identical to our
initgroups32 function, except for the cygheap->user.groups.update_supp
call, which would be replaced by filling the group list given as
argument.
