1) You didn't say if you've run "make install" yet though, you should do that
rather than attempting to manually copy all the files to their correct
locations.
I tried a just to copy patch.exe. Then I saw this that I just wish I did
not. Here is a copy and paste from my screen output (a bit truncated):

After a while it reported 2.5.9. I am not sure about the reason. I
started another copy of Cygwin in another window. I also changed PATH,
but I am not sure in which order now.
I am starting Cygwin in a cmd.ex console window.
Is this behaviour known? Should it be like this? Or is there perhaps
something wrong with my pc?
