There is no "C:/cygwin/bin".
There is an "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cygnus Solutions".
It contains the keys: "Cygwin", "Cygwin B20",
"CYGWIN.DLL setup", and "GNUPro".
The "Cygwin B20" just contains the key "B20.1", but neither
contain any values.
Hmm, the "Cygwin" key has a key "mounts v2" containing the
keys "/", "/usr/bin", "/usr/lib", and
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts". All of those have a value
labeled "native". The value for "native"
in "/" is "D:/Cygwin" which if my installation directory, the
values for "native" in "/usr/lib" and "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"
are both subdirectories of D:/Cygwin, but for some reason
in "/usr/bin" it's "c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\bin".
That's not good if the installer is mixing up old and new
installations from completely different paths...
(errgh...this 80 chars per line limit is starting to get really
annoying...)
