Well, that part of the announcement wasn't specific about how to do
that, but I assumed that one did it by running cyglsa-config, which
copies cyglsa.dll from /usr/bin to /usr/bin/cyglsa. The registry points
to the one in /usr/bin/cyglsa. After running cyglsa-config (and manually
fixing the registry key), the machine really just didn't work correctly.
I did verify that /usr/bin/cyglsa/cyglsa.dll == /usr/bin/cyglsa.dll.

Gold, n.:
        A soft malleable metal relatively scarce in distribution.  It
        is mined deep in the earth by poor men who then give it to rich
        men who immediately bury it back in the earth in great prisons,
        although gold hasn't done anything to them.
