Thanks for updating this, but there still seem to be minor problems. The man page for alternatives
(8) does not seem to specify the allowed range for priority values, but using 2017 for unison 2.17 
and 2027 for unison 2.27 seem to upset it:

ajm> /usr/sbin/alternatives.exe --display unison
path to alternate expected in /var/lib/alternatives/unison
ajm> 

Editing /var/lib/alternatives/unison as follows seems to fix things:

ajm> cat /var/lib/alternatives/unison
auto
/usr/bin/unison

/usr/bin/unison-2.17
17
/usr/bin/unison-2.27
27
ajm> /usr/sbin/alternatives.exe --display unison
unison - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/bin/unison-2.27
/usr/bin/unison-2.17 - priority 17
/usr/bin/unison-2.27 - priority 27
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/unison-2.27.

I also found a mixture of names - the new versions install "unison" symlinks, but the older versions 
installed "unison.exe" symlinks. Some of this may have been my hand edits to fix things up though.
