My only thought on this was that not depending on the cygwin dll might give us the flexibility if we wanted cygserver to be started before any cygwin processes (and it can't start before itself . . .). Then again I can't imagine what sort of requirement there might be for that. More pertinently we should think about making sure that at least some things work if the daemon is killed and re-started while there are cygwin programs running. But I don't think that's an immediate concern. // Conrad
