What I mean is this: are all the Windows versions that Cygwin supports
looking for the hosts and other files in

  %windir%\system32\drivers\etc

or are there some versions, situations or configurations where it looks for
those files in a different place?

That the postinstall for base-files has worked until 2.4.0 seems to indicate
that the place is always the same, but the absence of a bug report is not
the same as positive confirmation.


Regards,
Achim.
