Why is setup.exe downgrading my packages?

Hello! I have a quick question about setup.exe. Why is setup.exe trying to downgrade some packages (e.g. libpq4) when I install other packages. It's annoying. :-) I'm in the situation that I need both libpq-devel-8.1.4 and libpq4-8.1.4 for psycopg2 (python postgresql lib) to work. Whenever I

zsh, mkzsh, zsh.bat

Hi! I just tried to set up cygwin with zsh using the mkzsh script provided in the distribution (the latest one as of February 20). After the script has executed I get the expected shortcut on my desktop but when I double-click on the shortcut the only thing I get is a console window with the word
