Mapping Windows User to Unix UID in ported application

I'm in the midst of porting a Unix tool to Windows and I have all of the file
IO and display elements covered. However, we need to map Windows user ID's
into the POSIX realm of integer values for UID and GID.

Is there an existing API for this purpose? Have others already done this
who could offer pointers? Or, if this is the wrong group, which group should
I post into?

Thanks
Tim
