Agreed.

 Once again, let me point out -- that will not solve the problem.  You
won't be able to run the mingw executable from bash, for obvious
reasons.......

Isn't it possible to identify all cygwin processes, terminate them and
do stuff after that is finished, even if the process was started at the
bash prompt?

  Absolutely.  It should look for cygwin services as well.  I was thinking
of having a go at it in the next week or two.  I was also wondering whether
really it shouldn't be part of setup.exe (which I think came up in
discussion on -apps recently, but I wasn't following closely - have to go
check the archives).

I'm all against including it into the setup step. I used rebase exactly one time and then to test a not-yet-official version of MySQL server which was linked against openssl. I'll try this with openssl and its fixed non default base and the latest perl which uses auto-image-base to see if this resolves my MySQL problem. Other than this I never needed to use rebase so I don't think it should be a default step when setting up Cygwin. Finally we'll reach a point where we run out of addresses anyway.
