I'm currently working on a proprietary software (I know, boo-
hiss).  It is compiled under vc++, but I use cygwin's bash
and make.  I would like to go the next step and try to get
my company to drop vc++ in favor of using g++, as a first step
toward moving them toward a Linux port.  (as a second step
towards trying to get them to drop NT as a server platform, but
that last step will be a doozy)  I need to know, however,
how much it would cost to 'buy out' of the GPL on cygwin.dll.  I
could not find this information on RedHat's site, and they don't
seem to sell it in their store.  This generally is a sign of
impending stickershock, but I'll ask anyway.

I would prefer linking with cygwin1.dll to going mingw, since
drive letters give me a bad feeling, and since it will improve
portability more.  But mingw would be a step.

Thanks in advance for your support
