Uh, yes, I missed to add the csih dependency to setup.hint.  I just
did that on cygwin.com, should be at the mirrors shortly.

Eeek!  You're using FAT32 on a NT based OS?  This isn't such a good
idea, actually.  There's no security and no permission settings on FAT.
The csih script seems to miss the fact that the directory is on a
non-NTFS drive which isn't capable of setting permissions.  Given that
you're installing ssh, which is a paranoid secure playing package,
that's actually a good idea.  Ever thought of running convert.exe on
your drive? ;) 

Nevertheless that should be changed in csih.
