Hi All...

A chown -h causes the same problem as a chown -R. So, the second script does 
not work around the problem...it does avoid damaging the link, but after the 
install, the ownership on the links are administrator.none and so I can run 
gcc -mno-cygwin... as a restricted user. So for now I have deleted and 
recreated the links by hand.

Thanks,

...Karl
