The old-setup doesn't set up cygwin as correctly as the new setup.

No.  I don't take *orders* from people WHO DON'T PAY ME.  I work for
Red Hat, not you.  Everything I do for the net version of cygwin is
*volunteer* work.  If you would like to purchase a copy of GNUPro for
Windows with a support contract (um, I think the average contract is
about $7500/year), you can submit bug reports and expect them to get
fixed.  Otherwise, you ask NICELY and you say PLEASE.  Got it?

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were the one person in the world who
never made mistakes.  Besides, it wasn't a major bug - in order to
reproduce it, you had to manually download some of the files from the
ftp area, but not all of them, and install from that.  If you
downloaded everything, or let setup download what it needed, or
installed directly from the internet, you wouldn't see this bug.
