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 As far as I can tell, it is really hard to tell whether a new piece of software requires a newer version of the cygwin dll that you have installed or whether it will work fine.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?
