Eh? Looks like the tarball hit a cosmic ray while in-transit,
Unique.hc:2714 does say "W_ crEG_;" ! :-)

Yep, with the current booting-from-hc setup, you'll have to generate
these yourself after hsc has been successfully linked. The
booting-from-hc section in the installation doc have been updated
post-3.02 to include a paragraph about how to go about doing this.
(Not of much use to you, but I thought I'd mention it nontheless :-)

The header files that come with cygwin32 don't have support for the
multimedia API, which we need to get at some decent timer support.
To fix, you'll need to patch the header files - let me know if you
want the diffs and I'll mail them to you.

I see this intermittently too. Fingers point in the general direction
of how cygwin32 handles read-only FILEs - hopefully the ongoing
rewrite of IO will work around this problem..
The general workaround to this is to interleave the renamer's reading
of files with some output - -dshow-passes is a less noisy alternative
to -v.
