First thing i did after installation of B20 was mounting UNIX-like file 
system - that's not a question. What I meant is /usr/i586-cygwin32
created
by both cygwin and egcs 'make install'. As soon as you forget to type 
'configure i586-cygwin32' they become i686-pc-cygwin32. Personally I
don't
like to see them both under /usr.
