In the future, would you make available a list of changes that does not
require first installing the package?  I like to look at the list of
changes before upgrading a package.

I was just testing some experimental Cygwin code on Windows 2000.

I now get this on every invocation of the shell:

bash: /proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/
CurrentVersion/Windows/Device: No such file or directory

In fact there is no Device value.  I guess /etc/profile should check
the file for existence before trying to read it.

Indeed. Thanks for catching it.
I've made a 4.0-5 release available to correct that:

Sorry, wrong list.
Please wait until 4.0-5 is properly released and announced to install
it using setup.exe.

My apologies for the misleading message above. It wasn't intended to
reach this list.
