Chris suggested to export it slightly different. Include sys/cygwin.h
and call
cygwin_internal (CW_EXTRACT_DOMAIN_AND_USER, pw, domain, user);
instead of
cygwin_extract_nt_dom_user (pw, domain, user);
Advantage: If passwd is running under an older Cygwin DLL, the
cygwin_internal() call just returns -1 and passwd can handle that
case cleanly while the other way would pop up a box, telling that
the procedure entry point couldn't be found.
