Which programs use cygwin1.dll?  The Win32 sed 4.0.7 or all the
tools provided by the Cygwin distribution?

I wouldn't recommend replacing your Cygwin version of sed with
some generic Win32 version.  Keep'em separate because they're
not the same beast (unless the Win32 verison is linked to
cygwin1.dll too)
