whoops sorry thought I replied to the list.
Thanks for the update, glad I was not going crazy seeing what I
was seeing.
I managed to get things working just by copying the entire cygwin
directory structure from a win2008 system to the R2 system, I was
expecting stuff to not work because of library registration, but
the basics seem to work(really all I need is stuff like rxvt,
ssh client, vim, less and tail).
