Oops - for some reason, Windows thinks it needs to revive directory "a"

fix requires that renaming on top of an existing directory will be
non-atomic on cygwin.  I'm debating about whether to rebase the current
series to fold that fix into the existing cygwin 1.5 fixes, or whether to
just do it as a separate patch.

Do you _really_ want to fix it if it is ok in cygwin 1.7? Who uses rename(dir, dir) anyway...
