Andreas,

I'm glad I was able to help.  I have one comment, however.  Your answer was 
addressed to me rather than the Cygwin list.  Since I'm subscribed to the list, 
an answer there would get to me, but more importantly would be available to 
others, as well as being part of the mail archive, indicating a successful 
resolution of the issue.  This is a good thing, for future users of Cygwin.
