Well, one of the problems with both cygport's current automatic handling of

_update-info-dir could ever do so -- How does it know what I *used* to have
installed, that now is installed no longer? It can't parse my existing dir
file, can it?
_update-info-dir deletes the dir file before it creates it. The only
way an obsolete .info file can be added is if it somehow was not removed
by setup.
