FYI

Cygwin 1.5 went gold over the weekend

snipped from the release notice 

"""As previously reported here, 1.5.x versions of cygwin1.dll contain major
changes in some APIs such that 64 bit file I/O operations are now
available.  This means that some structures such as those found in
'stat' and 'dirent' have changed.  This version also supports 32 bit
uids.  Older applications will continue to work correctly but DLLs and
libraries which use any structures whose size has changed will need to
be recompiled and relinked.

There have been two problems with previous 1.5.x releases.  One involved
any application that used fdopen and another involved any application
that used -lc on the command line.  If you have rebuilt a library or
application for 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 and you used either of these, you will
need to relink your app for 1.5.3.  I'm very sorry for the
inconvenience.  Executables linked for/with 1.5.2 or 1.3.32 or earlier
should continue to work fine."""

So next time you update your Cygwin installation be  prepared for
a larger then normal set of files as many packages will be udated

Cheers

Norman
