To get full use of cygwin1.dll I always place it's location in the system
path. Any commercial software using licenced cygwin1.dll versions may cause
trouble, but there is no excuse for folk redistributing the net release (GPL
cywin1.dll) to conflict with the cygwin setup.exe environment.

Be aware that there is commercial software that uses the cygwin1.dll.

One example is Tivoli Framework from IBM (which I happens to work with
proffesionally...).

To ensure that a dll is not interfering with other versions of the same dll
you must ensure that it is located in a directory that by default is NOT
included in the windows path. You should aælso familiarize yourself with
terms of dll search sequence and private dlls. This will help you
understand how to avoid conflicts of this kind.
