That won't work as they don't take into account older releases, so the package must work with what is current. I think that we have to wait a new release of the cygwin dll which should be imminent for what I read in their mailing list.
I know. But as you may have long noticed, I am not a patient man. I would like to get the configuration part done so we can have less work to do after the new cygwin is released. (Anyway, I guess the automake/autoconf part can be done with the broken cygwin, right?) Bo
