Just FYI. I found a pretty good way to manage multiple cygwin installs. I use the windows subst command. It works like this. Create a directory c:\cyginstalls. Then beneath it create a directory for each cygwin install you want like cygwin1, cygwin2 whatever. Then use the subst command like so: subst x: c:\cyginstalls\cygwin1 Now install cygwin to x:\. Change the subst to c:\cyginstalls\cygwin2 and install again to x:\. To choose what cygwin you use just subst x to the appropriate folder. Kind of a poor mans symbolic link.
