I had apparantly installed OpenSSH at some point a while ago (possibly from installing Putty ssh client? I can't remember.). This is still a problem with the installer though: if you don't want to overwrite any old registry values with the new install locations, the various .bat files and other settings that expect the /bin and /usr heirarchy to be under Cygwin's root need to be updated. Or something needs to be done, or at least some notification that the heirarchies don't match.
