The newest Purify supposedly works on COFF symbols, which would mean it
*might* work on Cygwin/gcc generated executables and DLLs. Purify requires
that the DLLs be relocatable (have a .reloc section) for it to really
work. Making cygwin1.dll non-relocatable would certainly increate start-up
time, but would eliminate the possibility of using Purify.

The last time I tried using Purify 2001 (2001A is now the latest), I
thought it said that cygwin1.dll didn't have a .reloc section.. I'll try
it again this weekend with Purify 2001A.
