The re-install fixed the path problem, but I still have strange things

Notice some directores are the correct blue on white while others are
black on green.
Not a bug, but a feature improvement that you picked up by
upgrading coreutils. Reread
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2006-01/msg00019.html,
including the bit about dircolors adding new colors for
coloring world-writable directories that don't have the sticky
bit set (commonly recognized as a potential security hole).
Okay, now I'm trying to figure out how dircolors works. I've modified
/etc/LS_COLORS, then have done things like
dircolors -b /etc/LS_COLORS > MyColors
. ./MyColors
but it doesn't affect the display. The docs on dircolors mention a
compiled-in database but do not explain how to update it.
