Your position on this issue is famous. :-)

Personally, I disagree. It think Cygwin should allow side-by-side installs.

Since I'm not about to do the work to make Cygwin support side-by-side
installs, then I'm happy to deal with the downfall from the current
behaviour.

Making Altera change their behaviour is no effort at all, really, a
quick call, fire off an email, that's all that it takes. :-)
