Your best bet is to find a (very) stale mirror, or to distribute the DLL
(with associated sources) yourself.  However, by doing so you're
essentially depriving your users from any support on this list, as the
first recommendation would be to upgrade.  Is there a particular reason
why your tools won't work with the latest version of Cygwin?  It should be
backward-compatible.
