Subject: Help! Updated: Cygwin DLL 1.1.1

I had a plain old (?) installation of cygwin B20 without any cygdrive 
mounts. Now after the announcement, I just tried to setup -u cygwin.

My first surprise was that it did not install over my current cygwin; 
should I have entered 
"C:\Programme\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32" when I was asked for 
a directory or what? It downloaded all files in C:\tmp and left them 
there.

Surprise 2 was the downloaded directory structure. It includes a lot 
of directories that I couldn't match to the old structure, including a 
whole new ...i686... tree (I was assuming I might have to move 
downloaded files into their correct place). Why this multiple forest 
of bin/lib/H-i586/something-686 subtrees anyway? Well, maybe I don't 
need to understand that.

Next surprise was that the downloaded cygwin1.dll, just announced, was 
dated March, 2000 - much older than the latest snapshot.

And finally, if I now start a cygwin shell, I get an environment where 
C:\tmp is mounted to / and nothing works as before (C:\ was /).

Help! I want my straightforward old cygwin configuration back, please.
