setup hangs at perl-min

I find during a brand new install of "All" that setup hangs at 
perl-ming; the reason for this is that both bzips (curr and prev)
release\ming\perl-ming\perl-ming-0.4.3-[12].tar.bz2
contain tars
perl-ming-0.4.3-[12].tar
that contain files at
usr\share\man\man3\
whose names include the string "::", not liked by Windows.

Can this difficulty be addressed by renaming the files?

(I don't actually need or use these files, but the glitch in setup is a 
headache. Possibly relevant that I still use XP on FAT32 not e.g. W7 on 
NTFS; but this finding is for the current Cygwin 1.7 (not 1.5 where 
there is no such problem).)

Thank you,

Fergus
