I don't know much about it, but I see a fundamental problem with file overwriting in Windows. You can't do that if the file is opened. This is a big problem for dpkg and post-install scripts since all binaries are linked with cygwin1.dll. If we find a way to workaround this, everything else should be only a matter of effort. With kind regards, Baurjan.
