OK, thanks.  But if you've used rebaseall once, won't you have to always
rebase again any time you update cygwin?  That is, if rebaseall arranges
each image base in a contiguous block, then you need to rearrange them
any time you add/change a dll.  This is because you've created a
"custom" image base location for each of your images, and
--enable-auto-image-base doesn't help.

Or am I wrong about this?

Thanks again,
Geoff
