I used rsync, but the WARNING is dated 2009-04-24, so I guess this was OK.

OK, it's attached.  By the way, cygwin-1.7 is still in beta testing, but 
I thought I should use it since it will probably be released long before 
TL2009.  The current version is known to have a problem with file 
locking that could conceivably cause parallel make to fail.  Could that 
explain the failure?  If so, is there a way to disable parallel make for 
testing purposes?

P.S.  I just saw your second message, concerning tangle as a dependency. 
  I'll try your suggestion as soon as possible and get back to you.
