Sorry about the trouble.  Seems that no developers regularly use Cygwin, 
and we didn't get any testing when we had experimental versions up.

Weird; they are all text files.

A patch shortly after the mlton-20051202 release changed the paths for the 
Cygwin package.

This was in response to some installation problems raised by a user of the 
mlton-20051202 release.

In any event, it seems that most default Cygwin installations mount 
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin, C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib, and C:\cygwin on /,
so you should be able to unpack the archive at / (and you will see the 
binaries and libraries in /usr/{bin,lib}).

What libraries?
