Actually now that I take a look, it's much worse than 25% - more like 5%.
Example: nothing in BASE is showing a description, ash, bash, cygwin, all the
way down the line.  The view doesn't appear to matter.

setup.ini's look ok; here's the ash entry:

"

setup-timestamp: 1009834202
setup-version: 2.125.2.10

@ ash
sdesc: "A Bourne Shell (/bin/sh) workalike"
category: Base Shells
requires: cygwin
