Yes, this is bad.

You will also need to:
* Change the shared segment name, or you will break existing installs at
runtime.
* Change the dll name, as the install you are proposing is not
compatible with the cygwin net distribution.
* Recompile *everything* to use the new .dll name.
OR
Just leverage the cygwin setup program, and let all the pain go away.
