It would be useful if there was a forum for people who distribute
cygwin1.dll along with an application. I'm not very interested in the
whole Cygwin distribution, and I'm going to end up maintaining an
in-house fork of the code to solve my problems. I doubt I'm the only one
doing this, and I'll happily take it to a more appropriate list.

I'm even prepared to host the list myself if there's demand. If anybody
else does need to do this sort of thing, mail me off list.
