I'm trying to update the Cygwin environment for my client and want to 
get to the latest version. But this one obviously has at least this bug. 
So they said I should get 1.7.9 as it's more stable. How would I do 
that? From what I've read briefly you just toggle the previous button 
but that's like for each package. I tried going to the previous version 
for this csih and the bug exists there too. So how exactly would I 
download a consistent set of Cygwin packages for 1.7.9?
