If you want to set the CYGWIN32 environment variable, you should
definitely *not* upgrade to 19.1.  Otherwise, it's an improvement.

For the best results at this point, you may want to use one of the
newer development-snapshot-derived cygwin dlls from Sergey -- see
http://miracle.geol.msu.ru/sos/ for more info.

As I've mentioned before, I'm intending to release an official 19.2
update dll as soon as we've ironed out the Win 95 freezing issue...
