Weird.  The same sequence of commands works fine for me on W8,
W8.1 and W10 64 bit, under i686 as well as x86_64 Cygwin.=20=20

[...]

but it doesn't on Vista and W7, wow.

The question now is, is it because the path given to SetDllDirectory
is not propagated to child processes on older systems, or is it
because the directory is only used in calls to LoadLibrary{Ex} on
older systems.

Stay tuned, I have to investigate this.


Thanks,
Corinna
