We have to have the double lookup. If we can map a SID to a gid_t
then we need to do so in order to get real filesystem access if
permitted by the gid_t. We're only arguing about whether we need
to keep the SID around also in the non lookup case.

The NT_USER_TOKEN is designed for NT SIDs only. It gets included
in other structures that contain uid_t and gid_t's. They don't 
belong in the pure NT info (IMHO). So I don't really want to 
change it.
