Setup still shows coreutils 9.1 as test, but it should *NOT* be 
installed by anyone.

Setup now also shows coreutils 9.0 in test, and it can and should be 
installed by anyone who experienced issues with coreutils 9.1.

I ran coreutils 9.0 for a couple of weeks in my installs before 
releasing it for testing, and am still running it now, with no apparent 
issues.

As coreutils is a Base package, in Setup, select View Up To Date, Search 
for coreutils, New column shows Keep, select the combo box dropdown 
menu, which shows selections:

	  Uninstall
	  Skip		[greyed out]
	  8.26-2
	✔ Keep		[checked]
	  Reinstall
	  9.0-1 (Test)
	  9.1-1 (Test)

you can select 9.0 which will install the suggested test release when 
Setup is run.

*NO* Cygwin processes can be running when Setup is running, to ensure 
programs can be replaced without restarting Windows or rerunning Setup.
