Attached is a patch to <http://cygwin.com/setup.html> that talks about
preremove scripts and brings the postinstall section up to date.  I'm
targeting it here rather than to the main cygwin list because IMO it is of
more interest to this audience, having to do with package maintenance and
setup.exe.  I can also check this in if it's approved.
