There are problems with this approach. When I set ntsec in the CYGWIN
environment variable, everything is now marked as executable. And I DO mean
everything. It would be a nightmare to manually go through and change
permissions on everything.

Maybe Cygwin won't be able to be a supported platform after all.

Thanks anyway,
