Yes.

Sorry, I don't grok the above.

That's what you built.  It's used for testing/debugging since you need
2 DLLs in these situations.

Yep.

Yes if you installed Cygwin 1.7:

<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-12/msg00225.html>

If you installed 1.5, then no.  Remember, snapshots are always the current
development version and in this case, there are allot of differences (by
design) between 1.5 and 1.7.
