I'm seeing a presumably new failure on Cygwin that I don't remember seeing before. The gist is the following: transform2.test tries something like
install bla.exe .../inst/bin/foo.exe install script.sh .../inst/bin/foo and the second one fails (to overwrite the foo.exe). Does anybody happen to know if this is due to a change in Cygwin semantics? If yes, then the question is whether we should work around it somehow, like removing the old program first, so that 'make install' of a package upgrade that reimplements some program as a script might fail; OTOH, this should probably be done on w32 only, since foo might be a tool used during installation (such as 'install'). Ouch. I can't see why an Automake bug should be involved in this failure. Thanks, Ralf
