I downloaded the b17 all.tar.gz, cygwin.dll, tar.exe, gunzip.exe as
described in the readme files.

1.  First off, I downloaded the all.tar.gz into a directory called
E:\GNU-WIN32 and the other three into E:\CYGNUS and put E:\CYGNUS in the
PATH.  I then CD-ed to E:\CYGNUS and issued the command:
  E:\CYGNUS> gunzip \gnu-win32\all.tar.gz
I was greeted by the following message:
  \gnu-win32\all.tar.gz: No such file or directory
The command line:
  E:\CYGNUS> gunzip -d e:\gnu-win32\all.tar.gz
worked fine.  This to me sounds like a bug somewhere.

2.  I then tried the command line:
  E:\CYGNUS> tar xvf \gnu-win32\all.tar
and was greeted by the message:
  //E/CYGNUS/TAR.EXE: Cannot open \gnu-win32\all.tar: No such process
When I tried the command line:
  E:\CYGNUS> tar xvf e:\gnu-win32\all.tar
I got an exception:

==============================================================
I then moved the all.tar file to E:\CYGNUS, and unpacked it OK.

3.  I then went to the E:\GNU-WIN32 directory and unpacked all.tar there. 
After deleting ALL* from both E:\CYGNUS and E:\GNU-WIN32, I issued the du
command from both directories.  The results are different!

==============================================================
Although the directory listing shows no difference in the two directories. 
This has to be a bug somewhere.
