Unfortunately I only just re-installed Cygwin again and I don't have a build environment set up so I can't try the patch myself. It looks like Chris Faylor made a few changes also to clean it up. I assume this will make it into the next public DLL build? Any idea when that would be? I might try apply Chris's patch on my system to see if I can get it all to build myself.
