You're confused. The size of the heap has nothing to do with anything.
Putting the heap in a DLL does not solve anything. It's the cygheap
address that gets used that is a problem -- at least as far as this
auto-import situation is concerned. Cygwin needs to be able to use an
address that is deterministic and Windows doesn't really guarantee that.
