Okay, the installation entries seem to say that the necessary component
is the package cygwin itself. I installed that via setup.exe on the
W2000 box, but still I get the "Error opening terminal: cygwin."
message. (As an aside, that setup prog is darned infuriating if you want
to skip all but one package.)
