	Is the message that it is no longer in the list of Cygwin mirrors
from "setup.exe"?  How does it know/Where does it get it's information?

	Re firewall ... unlikely, http/ftp are unfiltered.
	It's disturbing that the two "mirrors.kernel.org" servers aren't in
sync.  I suspect I'm pulling a bogus image from the alternate kern.org mirror.
I was getting inconsistent results -- thought it might have been the new
setup.exe accessing a different data file.  Very confusing. Sigh.
