I thought I would try the following:

install into a temp dir
in temp dir do: find . ! -type d > .../cygfilelist
in /usr do: tar jcvf .../cygreleased.tar.bz2 -I .../cygfilelist
stop all Cygwin processes
to install, in /usr do: tar cf - -C temp_dir . | tar xvf -
to uninstall, in /usr do:
    for file in `cat .../cygfilelist`; do rm -f $file; done
    tar jxvf .../cygreleased.tar.bz2

Questions:

I noticed that the new include files would be installed in
/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/include and the new libs in /usri686-pc-cygwin/lib.  I
think I remember this overrides includes in /usr/include and libs in
/usr/lib, but what about gcc's fixed includes?

There must be a simpler way...

Thanks for any tips.
