I agree with both of you. It is definitely a path
problem, and i also agree that the cygwin bin
shouldn't be in the windows path and vice versa.
However, from the number of bug reports that i have
received from wingaim users, it seems that it is a
common practice to put the cygwin bin directory in the
path (our official stance is that it is user error and
that the cygwin/bin dir shouldn't be in the path as
stated on the website: http://gaim.sf.net/win32/). I
was just hoping that we could get the dll renamed and
make this issue no longer be an issue.
