   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...".
