OK so you are trying to mix and match.  Ain't gonna work without some
effort on your part.

That isn't going to help either unless you rebuild all the Xygwin
utilities.  And if you're going to do that, you might as well build
them against the current version of cygwin1.dll.  Either way, there's
no shortcut here.

It's only possibly going to point to shared memory conflicts so
there's not much reason to do this (now that I'm clear on what
you're doing).  You have two choices AFAICS:

   1. Recompile the Xygwin stuff to use cygwin1.dll (this is what I
      would recommend).

   2. Fire up your favorite binary editor and edit all your Xygwin
      utilities to point to cygwin1.dll instead of xygwin1.dll.  (this is
      real hackish).

If you choose to explore (2), make sure you make no change to the binaries
other than changin 'x' to 'c'.

Good luck,
