I find that I can successfully pass long args to echo.exe using the @arglist
method. It is not too convenient though as using cmd.exe for a shell is
pretty awful. And I couldn't get g++ to work under cmd.exe ("The dynamicl
link library cygwin1.dll could not be found...")

For the time being, I guess I will just avoid using g++ on my desktop. I
have a notebook using w2k that works with cygwin (1.3.21-1) just fine and I
can build using it. 

Thanks,

- Matt
