setup gdb && setup binutils problem.


I updated gdb and binutils using the latest official version 1.45.2.3
yesterday.

Today, I have a list of unexpected features:

First, my /usr/info/dir file was overwritten.  The new file of course only had
binutils. :(.  Suggestion for future package releases is to remove the
/usr/info/dir file if it exists before creating the tarball.

Second, although this should have been expected, I forgot this and I would like
to warn others that my customized cygwin.bat file was overwritten with the
standard one.  Question, should a package update install a new cygwin.bat file?
 IMO, it probably shouldn't.  Anyway, if you have customized your cygwin.bat
file, you should copy/rename it and use the copied/renamed one instead.

Regards,
