Thank you for your help. :-)
I checked before doing the incantation. The result was the same in my
simple case (yours is probably better/safer):
$ mkpasswd -l | grep www
www:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1006:513:www,U-A64X23800P\www,S-1-5-21-44853972

$ mkpasswd -l -u www
www:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1006:513:www,U-A64X23800P\www,S-1-5-21-44853972

844-839522115-1006:/home/www:/bin/bash
$ grep www /etc/passwd
www:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1006:513:www,U-A64X23800P\www,S-1-5-21-44853972

Change reverted, but Apache still refuses to start:
$ vi /etc/apache/httpd.conf
$ egrep '^[#\w]*User' /etc/apache/httpd.conf
#User nobody
$ net start httpd
The CYGWIN httpd service is starting.
The CYGWIN httpd service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

I'll try again:
$ vi /etc/apache/httpd.conf
$ grep -A 7 "Location /server-status" /etc/apache/httpd.conf
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all

I'm just trying to RTFM and follow the instructions so that Cygwin
Apache starts when the system boots:
$ less /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/apache-1.3.33.README
...
Starting the daemon:
You can start the daemon either as a Windows service or as a Cygwin
background
process.
Use cygrunsrv to install Apache as Windows service:
# Install HTTPD that starts automatically after system bring up:
$ cygrunsrv.exe -I httpd -d "CYGWIN httpd" -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a -F
# Install HTTPD that starts manually after system bringup:
$ cygrunsrv.exe -I httpd -d "CYGWIN httpd" -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a -F -t
manual
The -F option is needed to run the daemon in foreground.
