What's new:
-----------

- Introduce reading passwd/group entries directly from SAM/AD, thus allowing
  to do without /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.  Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf
  file to configure passwd/group handling.

- Allow quoting of arguments to the CYGWIN environment variable, i.e.,
  set CYGWIN=error_start="c:\bin\someprogram -T"


What changed:
-------------


Bug Fixes
---------

- Try harder to do the right thing in the presence of console screen buffers,
  i.e., never clear the screen buffer unless the user asked for it.  Also
  fix screen escape sequences which attempted to scroll the screen.
  Addresses: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/threads.html#00274

- Make "ps -W" report different WINPIDs for processes that have been execed
  from, e.g., cmd.
  Addresses: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/threads.html#00382

- Avoid error messages from the signal handler if we're exiting.
  Addresses: A random irc #cygwin complaint.

- Fix return value from getgrouplist function to behave like glibc.

- Fix initialization of open_memstream which could lead to dropping the
  entire string.
