I have no problem with this but if we're offering suggestions on how to
fix the actual problem, then I'd go to the source and change the install
scripts or maybe even 'cygrunsrv' to provide a warning and/or 'fix'.
That should reduce the number of people having problems running service
to only those that don't have permission to do so, in which case we can't
help them anyway.
