Oh. That wouldn't have affected what I was suggesting (the current
cygwin1.dll would be used unless an update was present - in which case
it comes back to the current setup's behaviour.).

I'm lookinginto that. The RPM issue I'm fighting with currently is
porting sleepycat's db to raw win32 as a static library. (It doesn't
build with gcc unless you build it for cygwin :[).

Once that's out of the way I can actually try to build rpm natively.
