Great, but what is correct.
The README says   "The environment variable CYGWIN must be set in the system
                   environment to be active from the start on or you can set
                   CYGWIN through the registry"
But, ins't specific on just what it shoud be set to...
c:\
c:\cygwin
c:\cygwin\bin

or what?

Well, if just dies if it is not there.
If I can get it to work at all than I will clean up,
but at the moment this is the least of my problems.
