Compressed script to properly update cygwin1.dll in setup.exe download

After running Cygwin's setup.exe in download mode, run this script to properly
update the download directory tree with a snapshot of cygwin1.dll that includes
the recent Cygwin fork fix.  For example, if you have downloaded the compressed
version of cygwin1-20130627.dll from the Cygwin snapshot page and uncompressed
it and if cygwin_packages is the name of the download directory you just
created in the current directory by running Cygwin's setup.exe in download
mode, then

bash ./replace_cygwin1.dll.sh  cygwin1-20130627.dll cygwin_packages

properly updates cygwin1.dll wrapped in a tarball inside cygwin_packages with 
with the fork-fixed cygwin1-20130627.dll and also properly updates setup.ini
inside cygwin_packages.  The script works both on Linux and for MSYS bash.exe
running on Wine.
