Cygwin did note that it had seen I had it open, and that I'd need to
reboot, or things would be unstable - but didn't mention anything about not
actually being able to replace the files.  A quick note in the docs might
be good, I suppose, especially if it helps someone else avoid being a
bonehead like me.
