Hi,

In addition to the issues with the prompt reported elsewhere, bash-3.0-7 
seems to have some minor packaging issues:

1) The info file is missing. Running "cygcheck -l bash" on bash 2.05 lists 
"/usr/share/info/bash.info" but is not found in the bash 3.0 package.
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/bash-3.0.README suggest an info file should be 
included.

2) The package scripts don't seem to remove /bin/bash as /bin/sh when 
   downgrading to an older version. I would expect that either /bin/sh
   would be be replaced with ash, or the new (downgraded) bash version.
   - Run setup to upgrade to bash 3.0
   - Run setup to downgrade bash back to 2.05:

~> bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
~> sh --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(7)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
