Well I am fine with that.
Practically speaking, the feature cannot work as it is right now, since nobody has uid=0 - so does not work on Cygwin.
In our infrastructure, all of Cygwin is installed as SYSTEM (uid=18), thus my patch (We are currently using a quite old version of Cygwin).
I am quite open to suggestions and would be glad to fix it the way you want.
