The most recent success story I have heard, with a modified cygwin1.dll (not
supported on this list) was with XP Server build 3505. My last success
with a Pro build was with build 2446. These builds have changed continually
in the details relevant to cygwin, which must be one of the strategies
employed by Microsoft to discourage use of cygwin.
