Grepping through /bin I found at least one other package
that makes use of /etc/passwd as a file directly (cvsbug), but
since I don't have everything installed I can only assume there
are more cygwin-packages and other programs someone might build
from source.
My complete install is proving quite useful this week:
chere
xhere
All of these reference /etc/passwd; some of the above also use
/etc/group.
chere (with the -s passwd) reads etc/passwd and starts the default shell
of the current user from the explorer context menu. For now, I will
expect users wanting this functionality to keep using/etc/passwd. If we
grow a mechanism where the login shell can be queried easily, I'll
update chere to use that.

Dave.
