Apparently, this FAQ is accurate.  The problem is, there are files
installed into /usr/lib, which the mounts will override.  See below.

I did, and setup.exe recreated the mounts.  From the FAQ above, it seems
this is the expected behavior.  But it does not explain the files in
the original directory.  This is a list of those files:

/usr/bin/glut32.dll
/usr/lib/mingw/libglui.a
/usr/lib/mingw/libgluix.a
/usr/lib/libglui.a
/usr/lib/libgluix.a

I could not find any package that provides 'glut'.  Should I just delete
these files?
