Hi!

Wed Oct 28 17:57:53 1998  Geoffrey Noer  <noer AT cygnus DOT com>

	patch from Mumit Khan <khan AT xraylith DOT wisc DOT edu>:
	* dll_init.cc (exceptions.h): Include.
	(dll_dllcrt0_1): New function to initialize Cygwin DLL guts
	properly when a non-Cygwin app uses the Cygwin DLL.
	(dll_dllcrt0): Call dll_dllcrt0_1 when user_data is NULL.

Most X11 applications fails to run with this patch... If the application is 
linked with cygwin-compiled dlls, DllMain function of these dlls is called 
_before_ user_data is initialized by cygwin1.dll! This case the 
initialization of cygwin1.dll performed twice with unpredictable results. I 
had to remove this patch to run xterm, rxvt and Xemacs.
