The easy way out is to use a managed mount, just a simple mount for |
| 23 |
/usr/portage. However, so far I have not seen the ":" problem. I grep-ed |
| 24 |
portage for illegal characters and could not find any, so as Patrick |
| 25 |
said it, it may be a non issue now.. |

The main problem seems to be that rsync is broken, which other users |
| 28 |
have reported to the Cygwin email list. |
