In the end, that's what I did: a new install. Unfortunately, I haven't
found every package that I had installed previously, so there are things
that are broken: apropos doesn't always work, some man pages are missing
(probably the same problem), some binaries are missing. I install things as
I find I need them. I *wish* there were a way to find out everything that I
had installed, some kind of database that CygWin would maintain, and which I
could copy to my new install directory. Sigh...
