Summary: installation atop 2.2 fails

Initial Comment:
Installing Python 2.2.1 atop Python 2.2 on cygwin 
fails at the last stage when it tries to create a 
link from /usr/bin/python.exe -> /usr/bin/python-
2.2.exe. Since the link already exists, installation 
stops.

Can you report the precise sequence of commands being 
executed? Normally, it should be 
 
if test -f /usr/local/bin/python; \ 
then rm -f /usr/local/bin/python; \ 
else true; \ 
fi 
(cd /usr/local/bin; ln python2.2 python) 
 
If this is the ln that fails, it is not clear why the 
target already exists: the rm command is supposed to 
delete it.
