Since this could potentially cause some misunderstanding, what about bumping the Cygwin DLL version number to 1.6.0? That way there could be some sort of statement to the affect that apps requiring these functions should be relinked with 1.6.0 when it's released. It's semantics I suppose, but I think it would be easier to differentiate 1.5.x series from 1.6.x as opposed to stating relinking may be required against 1.5.20 and greater.
