Actually, the net release is not necessarily an upgrade for Cygwin 1.0.

The 1.1.0 DLL is beta quality and undoubtedly has bugs.

If you want to install it over your 1.0 installation, everything should
still continue to work.  We always strive to maintain backwards
compatibility.

You're right, though, in noting that the net release does not contain
everything from the CD.  We're working on that but it will probably
take quite some time.
