Well, I did the following Google search:
<http://www.google.com/search?as_q=cygint-3.dll&num=10&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=all&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=cygwin.com&as_rights=&safe=images>
This seemed like a fairly obvious search to me. I got 2 results. The first
was the original poster with a similar problem and the second was the reply
from someone on this list. The person (Brian Dessent) explained how to find
the needed package.

It is not a goal of this project to have these tools be used by the "windows
community". However, if individuals or groups in this community find the
tools useful, it is also not a goal to keep them from using them. ;-)
