setup.exe and "in-use-file"

[Martin Gainty]

That is considerably more difficult a task
You would have to code a taskwalker which identifies the Cygwin task that is
running and summarily kill it
..Meanwhile keeping the install dialog active waiting for the file to be
unlocked by the Cygwin process.
