Assuming the code patches are fine, instead of a new section could we just
add your FAQ hint to "How do I link against `cygwin1.dll' with Visual Studio?"
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC102>
The title could be changed to something like "How do I use `cygwin1.dll' with
MinGW or Visual Studio?"
I'm a little torn since I'm not sure this is actually frequently asked but it's
certainly good to have the info. Ideally I can put it in the User's Guide.
