Why fix it if it isn't broken? It's that way on linux. All of the
mkfs extensions and fsck extensions are in /sbin, along with
mkraid, mkswap...etc. Why should it be different on cygwin than on
the native platform where the packages come from?
I'm in agreement with cfg: "...I don't see any reason not to install
things into /sbin if that's where they're going under linux...".
