I've added workarounds for Cygwin-Python problems, so that `it works'
on Cygwin too.

     http://lilypond.org/cygwin/cyg-apt

Lots of caveats apply (registry, in-use files), but even if you don't
use it to install or remove software, it may be handy to query the
available packages or installed files

    $ cyg-apt update
    ...
    
    $ cyg-apt list
    _update-info-dir    230-1
    ash                 20040127-1
    autoconf            2.59-1
    autoconf-devel      2.59-1
    autoconf-stable     2.13-5
    ...
    
    $ cyg-apt search music
    lilypond - A program for printing sheet music
    lilypond-doc - LilyPond documentation.
    
    $ cyg-apt find /usr/bin/abc2ly
    lilypond: /usr/bin/abc2ly
    
    $ cyg-apt new
    error: libkpathsea4 not in [curr]
    libncurses-devel    5.4-1
    ncurses             5.4-1
    readline            5.0-1
    tiff                3.7.0.beta.2-1

    $ cyg-apt search | wc -l
    524

Wow, do we have 524 packages?

Jan.
