Hello Linda,
It seems to be the only reliable 32-bit redirection -- and MS chose to put
it in the /windows dir... so they must want customers to put anything

Absolutely not what MS intended for the /windows directory. That is
the OS directory and only MS installations should use it.

Sorry, I assume you did catch the irony.
The /"Program Files" (64bit) and /"Program Files (x86)" (32bit)
directories are where MS directs developers to put their binaries.
However we don't like spaces in path names so this isn't a good
location.

Which is why you create /prog->one /prog{32,64}->point to the other
as mklink /d symlinks in the root of the fs.
However you the user have a choice of where to put things. Frankly, I
would use /cygwin and /cygwin32

And how does that get you the autoredirection I suggested with
the links in Windows/syswow64 and windows/system32?
