<shrug> It may be enough that the problem and the solution is now
documented on the list.
Maybe in addition, if/when setup-1.7.exe is linked from the Cygwin home
page in beta form, you warn there of this: if you install 1.7 fresh on a
system, subsequently installing 1.5 on it will be somewhat difficult. I
can't imagine there *not* being a transition period, where this sort of
thing will happen at least a few times.
