I've lost the thread here.

Was there a specific package that this happened to?  I did this for
cygwin-1.3.2 without changing the -n suffix.  I didn't realize at the
time that this would cause a problem but I can't believe that we'd
be worrying about this now.

I also moved newlib-man out of the cygwin directory and into its own
directory.  I didn't change the suffix there either, but I've just done
that as well.  I also recompressed it as .bz2 from .gz.

Is there something here that 'upset' should be checking for?  Should I
be issuing a warning if a file suddenly changes from .gz to .bz2?  Or,
is the new code in setup.exe going to handle that automatically?
