I tried to test this as well, but when I tried to move the existing
cygwin1.dll out of the way and drop the new one in, I got "Access is
denied.", even when running a cmd.exe Windows shell as Administrator,
without any cygwin bash shell running, and ditto for trying it after a
reboot and not having run anything cygwin since the boot.

I'm not sure what Vulcan nerve pinch I'm missing here to convince
Windows to let me at these files.
