It's not clear to me whether Windows groups have exact equivalents in
other OSes.  If we think the concept is generic, I'd be okay with
spelling the keyword system-group or the like.  The patch you
proposed looked pretty Windows-specific though.  Somebody with more
SSPI knowledge than me would have to opine on whether "sspi-group"
is a reasonable name.
