What's the use case here? I can't think of many good uses for something
that's going to vary depending on who's running the buildout.
Secondly, buildout and at least the recipes we like to promote are
cross-platform. This may not be as easy to achieve on Windows.
Thirdly, users can be in multiple groups, so at least you'd need a list,
which may not lend itself so well to the standard way of using variables
in buildout.
