Yes, sorry for the confusion caused by being over enthusiastic in
discounting the notion that cygwin1.dll would be installed in
/usr/local/anything.

setup.exe *does* create a /usr/local directory.  However, the mere
existence of this directory is no cause for concern.  The packages
installed by setup.exe do not use this directory.
