  Hey, hang on a minute... it *is* because Cygwin's refusing to delete files
for no reason!

  Hmm.  So, after the rm command, we still have:

/usr/local/bin:
+cyguninameslist-0.dll
+cyguninameslist-fr-0.dll
+fontforge.exe
+fontimage
+pfaedit.exe

/usr/local/man/man1:
+fontimage.1

/usr/local/share:
+fontforge

+/usr/local/share/fontforge:
+Adobe-CNS1-4.cidmap
+Adobe-GB1-4.cidmap
+Adobe-Identity-0.cidmap
+Adobe-Japan1-6.cidmap
+Adobe-Japan2-0.cidmap
+Adobe-Korea1-2.cidmap

  So, there seems to be a failure of 'exe magic', and part of it is because he
hasn't allowed for the cygwin library naming scheme (and the fact that dlls go
into bin, not lib).  The working version of the command should therefore be:

$ rm -rf /usr/local/bin/{fontforge.exe,fontimage,sfddiff,pfaedit.exe} \
 /usr/local/bin/cyguninameslist* \
 /usr/local/lib/{libgdraw,libgunicode,libuninameslist}* \
 /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fontforge.pc \
 /usr/local/man/man1/{fontforge,fontimage,sfddiff}.1 \
 /usr/local/share/doc/fontforge \
 /usr/local/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/FontForge.mo \
 /usr/local/share/fontforge


  You could pass it on to the fontforge guy if you liked.

    cheers,
