I've made a new version of the Cygwin DLL and associated utilities
available for download.  This is a pure bug fix release.  It also
enables basic operations on Windows Vista 64.

The 1.5.23-2 release fixes a packaging bug which resuls in spurious
prob;ems when trying to link agains libg.a.  Otherwise the release
is functionaly equivalent to the 1.5.23-1 release.

Below the fixes compared to 1.5.22-1 again.  This time including
the newlib bugfixes by Eric Blake.


To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.
