on winXP sp2, setup loops forever when installing xorg-base

Hello, I've tried installing cygwin with X on a Win-XP SP2 box. However, installation stalls at 99% when installing some xorg packages. Message says: "Cannot open log file C:\cygwin/var/log/setup.log for writing" Yes, the '\' and '/' are as is :) This problem is similar to the one from: http://sou

I don't think it will be possible to do a straight forward port for sudo to cygwin. Even by creating a user called root. This will pretty much require a direct modification of code enclosed in 'if def's ' thoughout. Redefining what it considers to be an administrator from user id 0 to user id 54
