OK. No ME anymore, just got XP home back online.
Don't worry about the DLL Problem.
I'm rebuilding any way for XP home.
No more ME.
Dead and gone.
Cygwin is back in its proper place, so I won't put the tools under the DOS
prompt any more.

One small word of warning: there are tools out there (gaim, wincvs,
etc.) that like to look for installed (non-cygwin) subsystems like TCL
or Python by just doing a search for the appropriate DLL on the path
(tcl84.dll, etc.).

If they find the Cygwin DLL instead, and try to load it, they'll hang.

(Normally, Cygwin DLLs are supposed to be named cygxxxx.dll (by
convention), but TCL, Python, and a couple of others have not followed
this convention, and are merrily tripping up non-Cygwin tools.)
