I know the instructions say to delete the others.  But then how do the other 
applications find the One True DLL?

Of the two apps that had their own cygwin1.dll, one of them seems to be 
working fine.  But the other one fails because it can't find cygwin1.dll.  That's 
why I wondered if I should give it its own copy of cygwin1.dll.

Bash &etc are working fine now.  I ran a find to make SURE there were no 
more cygwin1.dll's.  :-)
