Hi,

How does cygwin install decide where to put files? I was expecting some kind
of map file mapping object files to installed files, but I couldn't find one.
I can see we want cygwin-mketc.sh to end up in configure's $sysconfdir but
beyond that I'm just getting lost

Ok, I've taken out the message, but NOT the case translation of $WINETC. The
case translation must be done before the directory existence check, or the
check might fail. I think this has got to be the final version of the code
now.
