Thanks for taking care of bugzilla, Reini!

Rather than special-casing the cygwin dll, I think a better solution would 
be to run all preremove scripts, then perform all file deletions and 
extractions, then run all postinstall scripts.

This would solve similar problems involving other dlls too.

Please transfer further discussion to the cygwin-apps mailing list.

Thanks,

Max.
