+You have to add also c:\Perl\bin in the PATH variable of Windows. And also, to
+bypass Cygwin's path and make sure that MinGW and Perl are the first directories
+in the Cygwin path. So, one needs to modify the /etc/profile file AND any user 
+defined resource file in their home directory (i.e. a ~/.bash_profile that needed
+updating too - don't know why but it does).

 site, the options() command and install.packages() will work and simplify
 the installation.
