> Well, you have both renamed it and moved it to a nonstandard location.

Correct. Does renaming it actually harm things? I'd rather not have to
require >30 developers to install the entire cygwin package - we're trying
to keep it easily movable from one machine to another.

It doesn't. Is /bin something that should be created and stored on
whatever drive it's in? It'd be nice if I could set some environment
variable that would point it to the proper location. 

But strangely, why would a invocation of a command that uses quotes cause
a different behavior than that of a compile?
