Aha! Excellent stuff!

Unfortunately I only just re-installed Cygwin again and I don't have 
a build environment set up so I can't try the patch myself. It looks 
like Chris Faylor made a few changes also to clean it up.

I assume this will make it into the next public DLL build? Any idea 
when that would be? I might try apply Chris's patch on my system to 
see if I can get it all to build myself.
