That makes sense. I'm going to tweak the postinstall script accordingly. While I'm at it, I found that the default %Path% variable does not use the right case for the Windows and Windows/system32 paths on some versions of Windows. The result is that tools like Window's ping are not found when case sensitivity is switched on, unless you tweak the system %Path% variable to us the right case throughout. So, here's the question: Shall the script make the cygdrive prefix a posix=0 (aka case-insensitve) mount by default?
