Hmmm....W2K it reports "REplaced in use file -- you need to reboot" or
some such. BUT: I had no cygwin processes running.
a) what file did it THINK was in use?
b) why did it erroneously thing so?
On the plus side, it accurately upgraded my system from readline-4.2 to
readline-4.2a/libreadline5-4.2a/libreadline4-4.1 all-at-once. (The
older version would've screwed that up unless I did the two-step shuffle)
