A user in waffle would become userid 'bbs' in the shell, unless
a 'wrapper' (setname, in this case) were used. While what you
suggest is not trivial, is it not impossible. For some, waffle
has the disadvantage of being commercial (for UNIX), at a cost
of $120 for the source. I think for the original poster's question,
waffle is not a viable alternative, in spite of its other features.
