Agreed.  I'm not in the habit of uninstalling, unless I'm trying to
confirm that an install on a virgin machine is working.

If anything, I suspect problems with how we're specifying
inter-library dependencies.  Since this used to work under NetBSD and
now has a problem, I'm suspicious of a couple of changes that
recently went in that were supposed to fix something related to
library dependencies on Cygwin/MinGW.
