The above will remove the special case in setup.exe's rebase
functionality to skip rebasing the Cygwin DLL. Although, can we change
the ImageBase from 0x61000000 to 0x60000000 to avoid having to rebase
around it?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to the above.

No, my rebase tool can't. But, it can "convert" from MS Windows PE to
MS-DOS executable format... :,)
