We tried the second solution, but it didn't solve the problem.  The
first solution wasn't very attractive, at least for our project.  If
nothing else, it destroys the usefulness of rcsdiff output, unless you
insert some extra plumbing to filter the intermediate copies of the
different versions of the files.  We settled on a third solution,
recommended by several other list members, backing out the cygwin tools
until we can determine whether the next version unbreaks things.
