Thanks, will fix.

Right -- I figured this was harmless, because the cygserver IPC 
implementation does not provide/require the ipctrace header (AFAIK, 
nobody but me has ever actually used it).  The pre-remove script will 
remove it even if it's the only cygipc symlink left in /usr/include/sys 
(and will NOT damage the [obviously cygserver-supplied] realfile ipc 
headers that replaced the original cygipc symlinks)
