I'm re-installing Cygwin from scratch, using the latest setup.exe on a
Windows 7 64-bit system

I had downloaded and installed gcc4, then discovered I had failed to
download the corresponding g++ package.  I ran "setup -M" and selected
gcc4-g++.  When setup tried to check for dependencies, it got into
some sort of infinite loop.  I killed setup and ran it again, this
time without the -M option.  It found one library dependency and
installed normally.

- Jim
