However, your application must not call a dll that is dependant on the
cygwin1.dll.  You must use either cygwinb19.dll or cygwin1.dll not
both in the same process tree.

As an alternative to the copy, edit the program.exe file with a binary
editor and search for the cygwinb19.dll reference (there will be only
one) and modify it to be cygwin1.dll<null><null> being careful not to
change the length of the file.
