 Hmm... came to think of it... those things might not be the best thing to
have there... but what the heck. It makes it possible to run the same
installation from both W2K server and W98SE ;-}
 This last fact might also be a source for my trouble with check_case...
 'cygcheck -svr' output attached for that reason.
 All this has been happening after launching cygwin from Win2K. Haven't
tried it from Win98.

 Check for 'CYGWIN' in /etc/* appended below. (nothing alarming there)

  That could help find the right place to patch mv, or wouldn't it?
