Hello,
	I don't know if this has been discussed before or not (my apologies if 
I missed it).  It seems clear to me that not everybody always wants to 
upgrade to the latest version of the cygwin dll.  The problem comes when 
we do want to upgrade one particular piece of cygwin.  As far as I can 
tell, it is really hard to tell whether a new piece of software requires 
a newer version of the cygwin dll that you have installed or whether it 
will work fine.

	(Not that I have to ask, but) Any thoughts, comments?

	Thanks,
	  Charles
