That should work since the only time CYGWINROOT would be set was if you 
did an Install either from the internet or a local Directory.  The actual 
Download option never asks for the root directory nor does it do the 
postinstall (I believe :-) ).  Of course now the question pops up - if 
you're not running Cygwin (which he probably would be - but) is 
CYGWINROOT set and again on my Win95 machine it is not unless I have a 
cygwin/bash window open.  

Every time I go to look for the setup.log.full file when I am testing 
changes, I stop again to think if maybe always putting it in the same 
place would be a good idea??? Point to ponder!
