And xrdb seems to think I installed Cygwin in c:\cygwin17, but my Cygwin is installed into c:\cygwin .
when I run xrdb now I get this:
% xrdb.exe -load $HOME/.Xresources
Can't open input file "/cygdrive/C/cygwin17/home/pbecker/.Xresources".
1 error in preprocessor.
% xrdb.exe -load ~/.Xresources
Can't open input file "/cygdrive/C/cygwin17/home/pbecker/.Xresources".

This is fixed in mcpp-2.7.2-2, which will be hitting the mirrors soon.
% xrdb -load ./.Xresources
/home/pbecker/.Xresources:140: warning: Illegal control character 0lx1a in quotation
This is a separate issue, but note that it is just a warning; the
resource settings are still loaded and work as before. IIUC, the
"correct" way to fix this would be to change string("\n~^Z") to
string("\n~")string(0x1a), but I haven't tested this.
