Error if apt-cyg is renamed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

After renaming 'apt-cyg' to 'apt', I got the following error during install
of a package:

/usr/bin/apt: line 378: apt-cyg: command not found

Guess it should invoke $0 instead?

(Works very well otherwise. Much more convenient than setup. Thanks!)

I am accepting this because the suggested change is good practice, but running
apt-cyg as apt is not recommended because (1) the command syntax is not not
apt-compatible, just apt-inspired, and (2) I believe there is or was another 
cygwin
project named apt which uses a debian-style repository.  Thanks for the report 
:)

If you are just looking to type less you can use a sym link

ln -s /usr/bin/cyg-apt /usr/bin/apt
