What I'd like to know, is how all of these users ended up with
cygwin1.dll in /system in the first place. They all claim that they
didn't do it themselves; or perhaps they did do it themselves,
"following instructions a long time ago" [strange that the bug only
cropped up "now" ] -- but who is telling people to do this?
Is there some program out there that uses cygwin, and installs
cygwin1.dll into /system? Is there some website out there that tells
people to do this? Can we hunt them down and flame them with vigour?
