Well, the problem is that there *is* no /etc/profile at all.

What type of announcement? I went to http://cygwin.com/ (on this
page, there is definitely no "release announcement" to see), then
clicked on "install or update", which executed setup, then I got
a list of possible packages (in which I added a few), and let it
run.
Isn't this the way an update is supposed to be done?

And it is a good thing to do. So it seems that setup did not overwrite,
but delete it, which is really kind of strange.
