this is a known bug in b20.1, and it was fixed ~ year ago. perhaps you
can say what kind of problems have you encountered when compiling
scilab with 1.1.2?
otoh, you can _compile_ your application with b20.1 and use
cygwin1.dll from 1.1.2 at run time -- that'll make "% in filenames"
problem to go away.
