#So, you would put a copy of cygwin.dll to every directory you want to
#have a cygwin32 binary in ? Bad idea IMHO.

Agreed, that's why I wouldn't do it  =8-o

If/when I start shipping code I'd prefer, to make it easier to audit, to keep 
all CYGWIN-produced binaries
in one place. So, correct me if I'm wrong, that's the best place to put the 
..DLL?!

(Side point, I remember reading somewhere that Win'95 has quite a low limit on 
the number of files permitted
in a directory. If this is true, then surely that's another good reason not to 
stuff all DLL's in the one place, "x:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" ?)
