Hi All...

What if we had a distinct dll for the heap (so the cygwin1.dll and 
cygwin-something-heap.dll) and we statically size the heap as Chris 
commented about. But...we select which size heap to use locally?

Setup could do this by copying cygwin-something-heap.nnn to 
cygwin-something-heap.dll

Or...if it were possible to do this dynamically, control it from the CYGWIN 
environment variable.

Then the heap would be statically sized, but locally selectable without 
rebuilding the dll file)

Thanks,

...Karl
