Just for you, I restarted my virtual machine, waited a long time, and then
reinstalled (`-f -s`) the p4 spkg, which does not have the exe. The
directory in question has libtachyon, libtachyon.a, and tachyon.exe.
''And'' I tried copying that tachyon.exe file by using {{{cp
path/to/tachyon path/to/home/}}} and it worked.
It's possible that Cygwin/Windows treats exe's as folders, like Mac and
.app's...
Hope that satisfies your curiosity!
> And now I still don't know what weird magic Cygwin apparently applies
(either the shell or `cp`) that ''both'' spkgs seem to install the `.exe`
file.

have both, one with and another without the extension?
Just the one with exe.
