How about 3) Perpetuate the s/::/./ workaround in Cygport so that manpages continue to be generated with '.'. Rationale: Support for : in filenames in 1.7 only works with local NTFS and remote NFS drives; local non-NTFS and remote samba volumes will fail. For example, if recent list traffic is any indication, running Cygwin off a portable Flash drive is becoming a popular topic again with the /etc/fstab change, and most of those devices are formatted FAT.
