Alright, I think I've got it now, thank you. I'll experiment with it
first and then I'm guessing that this might eventually belong in libtool
or some such, although I'm guessing that that wouldn't work unless we
could have two databases, the system database and a temporary build
database. I'm not yet sure what the correct solution should be.

Thank you for the BLODA list. There are currently no programs listed in
the uninstall.

The first thing I've done when installing Windows in the past is to have
the network cable unplugged and disable every service that I think I
don't need because experience has taught me not to trust Windows.
Occasionally, I've had to re-enable services that it turned out I did
need. Are there any pretty list of "stupid windows services" out there
that you recommend? Also, I'm not doing any windows/lanman networking,
so I disable computer browser and the like.
I'm also building the current cygwin1.dll from git as I've seen a few
messages about bugs being fixed that could be related.
