Hi, Corinna, :)

Thank you for your quick reply!

Got it.  Followed your suggestions and the source built perfectly.
Thank you!  Made my own little mod, and now I'm left- and
right-<alt>'ing to my heart's content.  I appreciate the help. :)

I, unfortunately, have another problem. :/  I'm unsure of how to
install the newly created DLL (new-cygwin1.dll, right?).  At first I
just copied it over to cygwin1.dll in /bin and /usr/bin.  Initially, I
thought all was fine (my right-alt-meta code worked fine), but
external apps wouldn't run (I always get an error similar to:

/cygbin
$ troff
C:\CYGWIN\BIN\TROFF.EXE: *** 2. unable to allocate heap, heap_chunk_size 1073741 824, Win32 error 8

).  I then tried the install script (make install), which ran for a
good long time to completion.  However, I still can't run any external
apps (I receive the same error). :/

An oddness: 'configure' created a source tree including
"i568-pc-cygwin," but my MACHTYPE environment variable was set to
i686...  I'm completely clueless as to how to begin approaching this
problem.  For now I'll just back off to the vanilla DLL, but I'd like
to solve this.

Thanks again!
