Sorry, I haven't been following this but isn't the elif condition redundant?
Also, AFAIK although its unusual, there's no reason an account name cannot have a space in it, so `whoami` should be "`whoami`"

Shouldn't we check for uid == 0? The common name for that uid is "root", but I don't think anything prevents you from changing that name to say... administrator, or god. But that check is easier to do with a C program than shell...
And besides, as I read in another thread about Mingw, shouldn't we test for a functionality (being able to write somewhere, to use a certain program) rather than rely on the username and implied permissions of it?
But maybe I'm just way off track here...
