Yes, when `setup.exe' warn cygwin1.dll can't be replaced, you have 2
options, 1, kill all cygwin processes and continue, or, 2, ignore it and
reboot.

Any by `build', I mean build cygwin1.dll and then copy it to /bin, then
again if some cygwin processes are running I need kill them.

Now, I can kill them manualy one by one, and make sure I have killed all
by try and error; or I do that with scripts.
