Aha! Excellent stuff!
Unfortunately I only just re-installed Cygwin again and I don't have
a build environment set up so I can't try the patch myself. It looks
like Chris Faylor made a few changes also to clean it up.
I assume this will make it into the next public DLL build? Any idea
when that would be? I might try apply Chris's patch on my system to
see if I can get it all to build myself.
