This is exactly why I have such hard time convincing people that using open source software is a good idea: "The solution is technically better, so if it breaks for you I don't care."
I am not arguing that the solution should be discarded, I am arguing that the way the transition was handled, or not handled actually, it not worthy of being called engineering, development, or even programming. The best, and actually only way to move forward is to revert back to the behaviour of 1.3.2-1 and rethink this whole approach. Once a good transition plan is in place the changes can be reapplied. But it is obvious that I won't find a sympathetic ear to the plight of the user here, so I will escalate this to the main Cygwin mailing list. Hopefully people their actually care about user experience.
