On a perfect platform, perhaps, but like I said, I really had to add it 
because without it there a Windows dialog would pop up when I ran 
cygserver telling me that 'Cygwin1.dll' could not be found.  That was 
also true on my previous installation, and one of the reasons I thought 
it best to reinstall.
