Hi Maciej,

You are right. The idea was taken from djb's approach in djbdns --
together with daemontools' envuidgid tool.

I'm changing it in the next release, making it a bit harder to easily
specify the effective uid and gid -- since envuidgid cannot be used anymore.

I think `CURVEDNS_USER' will house the user CurveDNS is about to run
under when root privileges are not needed anymore.
