As a note, after using cygwin to build some libraries (worked well, thanks team!) when trying to delete a folder via windows explorer, I got the message "Destination folder access denied, you need to confirm this action" (followed by a UAC prompt) and also "Delete folder, Invalid MS-DOS function"
It appears the problem lies with creating a file named "NUL" windows utilities just don't know how to deal with it (you can recreate it by creating a folder, then from cygwin bash $ touch NUL) then try and remove the folder with windows explorer. I would not have expected cygwin to allow itself the privilege of creating files that are unremovable by windows explorer, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
