Ok... you got me... One problem with cyberspace communication is how two (or more) people can be talking about the same topic but are on different pages (metaphorically, of course)... :)
What I was talking about is packages that you download and build yourself, e.g. GNU regex, GNU libtool, GDBM, OpenLDAP: all of these packages configure with a default prefix of /usr/local. I was not talking about pre-packaged Cygwin binaries. And I still claim that even after you install Cygwin packages, they will operate if you relocate the libraries in /usr/lib. This is because the Cygwin binaries depend on DLLs accessible via the PATH, which are NOT relocated from /usr/bin.
