NO NO NO!!!
Can't agree.
\windows\system32 should be for OS programs.
Have you ever tried to un-install an app that copies its files
into \windows\system32?
I understand that with Win98 and NT5, M$ is trying to promote the
idea of keeping programs and their dll's together.

Hi All!
I have Source Navigator lite and gnuwin32 b18
installed on my computer. So cygwin.dll is placed
in 3 points.
I think that to place cygwin.dll in somewhere like c:\windows\system32
would be quite good idea.
At first, it would result the reduction of disk space.
At second, it would result the reduction of length PATH variable .
And at last, it is general(common) practice to place shared resources in
c:\windows\system32 .
