I'll second that suggestion. Seeing as Cygwin is, techncially, a
"program", it should, at worst, be installed in C:\Program Files. At
best, I put all of my "non windows" stuff (Cygwin, Native built Perl,
native build xemacs, etc) in C:\opt. Then, depending on what I am
doing on a particular box, I rig my Windows home directory to be the
Cygwin home. But, if this thread holds true, we probably shouldn't
even do that anymore on Vista.
