Ugh.  Apparently the backslash wasn't interpreted correctly...  This is a
bug in the postinstall script -- it worked in ash, but doesn't in bash.
I'll see what I can do about fixing it.

Not a problem.

Probably permission issues again.

Umm, not sure, but probably permission issues too.  I'd bring this one up
on the cygwin-xfree list.

So, except for the pdksh postinstall (which is a genuine bug), everything
else seems to be related to the weird permissions on your machine.
