While I'm always ready to reconsider previous decisions, this is how it 
appears to be handled in Linux distros.  The implication thereof is that 
(once all packages have been adapted) the default /etc/shells should 
only contain those shells available by default (namely, sh, bash, and 
/sbin/nologin), e.g.:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/shells

(except that /sbin != /usr/sbin on Cygwin.)

Probably best if we have a cygport function for creating the necessary 
postinstall and preremove commands.
