Actually, I'm going to remove update-setup. It's old and doesn't
support all of the newly advertised setup.hint features. That's why I
wrote 'upset'.
update-setup is a lot simpler than 'upset', though, for obvious reasons.
I assume that upset isn't working because it also needs the 'Version.pm'
module. It seems to work ok for me with Cygwin perl.
