Alright, I think I've got it now, thank you.  I'll experiment with it 
first and then I'm guessing that this might eventually belong in libtool 
or some such, although I'm guessing that that wouldn't work unless we 
could have two databases, the system database and a temporary build 
database.  I'm not yet sure what the correct solution should be.

Thank you for the BLODA list.  There are currently no programs listed in 
the uninstall.

The first thing I've done when installing Windows in the past is to have 
the network cable unplugged and disable every service that I think I 
don't need because experience has taught me not to trust Windows.  
Occasionally, I've had to re-enable services that it turned out I did 
need.  Are there any pretty list of "stupid windows services" out there 
that you recommend?  Also, I'm not doing any windows/lanman networking, 
so I disable computer browser and the like.

I'm also building the current cygwin1.dll from git as I've seen a few 
messages about bugs being fixed that could be related.

Daniel
