  Shoulda removed the ages-old GnuWin32 install as well, I reckon!  All
those incorrect versions of command line utilities will have made a hideous
botch of running the postinstall scripts, and will mess up the /etc/profile
and ~/.bashrc and other startup scripts, and will be interfering with pretty
much everything you do when you try to use the cygwin install...


    cheers,
