Not a good choice if you have the app living on your desktop.  Windows has
established places for info like this, and APIs to get the paths to them
regardless of how things may be installed.  Something like this (if it's a
file) goes somewhere like "C:\Documents and Settings\{All Users|Current
User}\Application Data\Cygwin Setup\" (don't quote me, but that's the idea).

Mmmmmhmhmhhhmhhmmm....  The real Windows way of doing this is by putting all
such settings in the registry, in the appropriate places (analogous to the
paths above).
