One can see from the timestamp on the links for gcc and vim that I
installed Cygwin on 10/18/2012.  However, it seems that both ctags and
etags are old versions of the program (circa 2007) and are not the
Exuberant Ctags version.  However, the GNU documentation here:
http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Exuberant_Ctags  clearly lists the
Exuberant Ctags, although it has only been updated as of 2004.
However, looking here:
http://cygwin.com/packages/ctags/ctags-5.8-1-src   we see that cygwin
has Exuberant Ctags 5.8.  Perhaps it is just a packaging issue that
caused the old one to be present and Exuberant Ctags 5.8 to be not
present?

You can see from this thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2634001/any-idea-why-ctags-wont-recurse-on-cygwin/13810472#13810472
 that I'm not the only one who stumbled onto this problem.

Where should we go from here?  Could it just be a packaging problem?
