Moving Cygwin

Speaking of which, it would be nice if setup.exe warned about doing
this only once when you first decide to install in the root directory.
Currently it warns every single time it's invoked, even though it's
too late too change its location once you have installed it there.

I've got several root directory Cygwin installs on both XP and Vista,
and they're working fine. I understand there's a small risk of
conflicts with other apps that might install Unix-like directories,
and an even smaller risk of erroneous Cygwin packages clobbering files
elsewhere. I'm happy to deal with that, and the reminder on every
update really isn't necessary.
