I didn't mean to suggest that setup.exe depends on
cygwin1.dll, just that it was designed to install
things that do. And, there are already projects that
are designed to install anything without modification
(just a script), so you don't have to make source
changes. The exception is the UNIXy tool, like XEmacs,
for which setup.exe's peculiarities might be handy.
