can you please have a look into the FAQ in the Cygwin sources, file
faq-programming.xml? The question "How do I compile a Win32 executable
that doesn't use Cygwin?" needs a revamp for Cygwin 1.7 but I don't know
the correct answer to this question. At one point we will get a mingw
cross compiler, right? wrong? Can you suggest a new answer for this
FA question?
There's also the weird Q "How can I build a relocatable dll?" Is that
something we should keep in at all? If so, I assume that the described
way to do that is not exactly state of the art...
Thanks,
Corinna
