Thus no need to adjust permissions on whole tree. Only your /home/$USER directory would need to be chown'ed, and that can be done using cygwin's own tools from elevated shell. > which sounded like what I wanted, but it damaged the installation. gcc > didn't work after that, but it was running before.
