Well, mine's not very good either, obviously.  That should have been
spelled dilemma and means, quoting Webster, a choice between
unfavorable alternatives.

Or in other words, you have to make a choice between:

1) Modifying the PATH variable for every package that has it's own
bin/ directory.

2) Creating standard UNIX directories and moving everything there.

3) Using the mount command and create logical directories to physical
directories and taking the chance of the non-cygwin programs
complaining.  For this option you would still need to modify the DOS
PATH variable for every package.  Also this limits the /usr/local/bin
to just one package.


All of these have equally unfavorable negatives, but, you have to
choose between one of them.
