- Please let us know the vendor who is releasing old versions of the
Cygwin DLL.  I want to make sure that it complies with the GPL.  If it
doesn't, our lawyers would like to talk to them.

- Newer versions of the cygwin DLL work with older applications.

- Newer versions of the cygwin DLL are better at finding other running
versions of the dll.

- Delete all but the newest version of the DLL and you are all set.

- If a vendor is releasing a product which doesn't work right because
there is a newer version of cygwin, complain to the vendor.  Their
installation is busted.
