For some reason, it stopped installing after 'bin'.  It should have
installed everything under "lib" as well.  I'm not a Cygwin user these
days, and I don't have a machine handy to test it on.  Anyone else
using Cygwin who could say whether this is a problem that all Cygwin
users will experience?

Steve, can you verify that there is indeed a "lib" directory in the
rubygems-0.8.10 source you have untarred?

Thanks!
