I've compiled pdksh, and put it on my web page, and I'm assuming that's
the one you have.  However with the original cygwin.dll there will be
problems.  I suggest downloading a newer cygwin.dll from Sergey's web
page (http://www.lexa.ru/sos) that fixes this an many other problems.

It means install exited with it's return value as 1, meaning an error.
However ignored means that it's not worth paying attention to, this
usually happens when it tries to make backups of files that aren't there
to begin with.
