Oh jeez. I guess I was too much on my "try a snapshot" bandwagon today.
Rereading I noticed that Martin mentioned that he was trying to
dynamically load a Cygwin-enabled DLL. So yeah, the snapshot isn't going
to help here. Without Cygwin-enabled Java or a kind patch to the Cygwin
DLL, this isn't going to work, just as Igor said.
But trying a snapshot was fun, wasn't it?! ;-)
