Broken links in Cygwin installation

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, Andrey Repin!

> Small background: I've been moving my Cygwin installations around to match
> path locations between different systems. I've ended up with a lot of broken

> I've baked a PowerShell script to solve the issue (see attachment).
> Also in attachment a powershell startup wrapper for /usr/local/bin/

find -L / -xdev -type l -execdir fixmylinks.ps1 OldPathFragment New\\PathFragment '{}' +

In all broken links, script will look for "OldPathFragment", and if replacing
the fragment with "New\\PathFragment" produce valid existing path, it will
create a new link in place.
