@GM:
Great! Thanks for the patch & testing
.
As for the Cygwin build, I'm not sure shipping the DLL would help, it simply cannot be run from a classic shell, it has to be run from the Cygwin shell.
Which reminds me, I need to reinstall Cygwin *somewhere*, I don't have it installed anywhere on my new box, which explains why the Cygwin snapshots are lagging behind...
