Thanks for testing and reporting results.

The build tests lead me to think that sparse files were not supported, so I need 
to figure out a way to add a sparse mount which works at home and on scallywag - 
used ${DISTDIR:-/var/cache}/ in another package so could add tmp to that, mkdir 
then mount -o ... `cygpath -m .../tmp` .../tmp - are any other commands required 
for setup other than mount?
