Isn't the warning about winzip outdated by now when winzip 7.0
can natively handle tar and gz files?

    3. INSTALL EGCS-1.1:

       a. If you have the whole file egcs-1.1-cygb19.tar.gz

          % cd $CYGFS
          % tar zxvf /tmp/egcs-1.1-cygb19.tar.gz

          !! WARNING: DO NOT USE WINZIP OR SOME SUCH WINDOWS TOOL TO UNPACK !!
