Well, untarring on Linux in itself wouldn't have been so bad, but you've
probably used a Windows ftp to copy the files to your PC -- and that's
where the problem lies.  Cygwin's ftp would have understood Cygwin mounts,
and placed all the files in /bin (which /usr/bin is an alias for, as far
as Cygwin applications are concerned), though, of course, it too would not
have been able to replace cygwin1.dll, for the obvious reasons.
