It's not obvious to me that there is any conflict. The <search.h>
header is part of the standard cygwin installation package and doesn't
seem to require that the db headers are available to the *user* of the
search package, they're just used internally. So I can't see a reason
why those interfaces aren't exported.

Well, I can see several reasons why not, e.g. Chris's observation
about the size of the DLL, but it seems a shame to have the code
sitting there and not available.

As for synchronicity: powerful stuff!
