For the record, I'm pretty sure they've recently decided to stop doing
this, per this message� from Larry McVoy. Note the third paragraph
regarding "future directions." It sounds like they'll play nice
alongside Cygwin, but not be built on top of it.

The last time I tried to install BitKeeper (around October 2003), it
trashed my Cygwin mounts even though I told the installer not to touch
my Cygwin setup, and even then BitKeeper wouldn't run without
crashing. Apparently it wasn't (re)built to handle Cygwin
1.5.x. Sadly, as a result, I've been without BitKeeper on my new
computer.
