Splendid!   Just for the record, I noticed this over a year ago:
  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-07/msg00944.html

So, proof that we don't need a bug tracker - mailing lists work fine!

The change to check postinstall exit codes is likely to throw up
a few more buglets yet, but looks like it will be well worth
the pain.

[Now, I'm just waiting for something completely different:
