It doesn't really matter what version of the DLL you have.  The one you
just installed with the setup program from cygwin.com (you did use the
setup program from cygwin.com, right?) is the right version.  Any others
that aren't in the bin directory of your new Cygwin installation are
outdated.  They apparently either appear in your path before your
new Cygwin installation or are already loaded into memory by some running
app.  Either way, find them and nuke them.  You don't need them and doing
so will get rid of this very ancient message (from some very ancient
cygwin1.dlls you have).  Anything that's dependent on the old cygwin1.dlls
will run with your new one.
