Hi Andrija,

Unfortunately, this is an artifact of the MS/DOS file system.
The test script expects to be able to blow away the "testdir"
directory that it creates.  MS-Windows is protecting you from
doing such a dangerous thing.  Now that I know that this can be
a problem, I will fiddle the script so that it will properly handle
the inability to either remove or rename that scratch directory.
I will release a 5.8.5 in the not too distant future.  (I need to
augment some man page generation templates anyway.)

BTW, would you be kind enough to roll up the installable components
into a Cygwin-usable zip file that I could put up on my download
site?  Every now and then folks ask for a Cygwin prebuilt and it
would be nice to be able to oblige.  :)  Thank you - Bruce
