There is not: there is not even /usr/lib. But when I run setup,
it says "Keep" and version == 5.2-3.
I think you looked with a Windows tool -- you need to look
using Cygwin, since it is a Cygwin mount point.  Open
up a bash window and cd there and see if you see the "cygwin" file.

I'm assuming you mean in the Windows environment? If so:
I went to Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment, made a
new system variable CYGWIN, gave it the value "tty" (minus
the quotes), and even rebooted: no change.
You will want to add "ntsec" if you are using NTFS,
and maybe "binmode" also.  Do a google search for these words and
CYGWIN to see what they do.

This is probably not good -- you have stuff in d:\bin shadowing
Cygwin stuff.
