Because these scripts are accessible for everyone and may change global
configuration settings, these scripts are for for cygwin administrator only.

Why are they dangerous?
My proposal is to move these files somewhere else.
Well, thats a discussion which will probably require Chris's arbitration.

I don't want to introduce extra files in /bin or /usr/bin.
XXX-config scripts should be located somewhere else, not in a path,
something like /etc/package-config, the directory should be
designated for config scripts only.
$ ls /usr/bin/*-config
/usr/bin/iu-config
/usr/bin/libpng-config
/usr/bin/libpng12-config
/usr/bin/pcre-config
/usr/bin/ssh-host-config
/usr/bin/ssh-user-config
The convention seems a little bit entrenched by now.
