IIRC, used to be, the DLL was installed as new-cygwin1.dll. I'm
thinking that would result in fewer complaints from those who
"ignore all of the caveats on the snapshot web page"; since,
"if people are ignoring the caveats on the snapshot web page,
then they'll probably not be inclined to go the extra mile and
look for documentation."
For example, I use the following change:
