Re: [1.7] Updated: cygwin-1.7.0-56

[Paul McFerrin <pmcferrin at columbus dot rr dot com>]

Folks.  Try again with updating 1.7-56.  When it is downloaded from 
mirror: mirror.nyi.net, my 1.7 instance of cygwin will nolonger come up!!

Using my 1.5 instance,  and the strings command, I check the 1.7.0-56 
version of cygwin1.dll and it comes up with:
   /ext/build/netrel/src/cygwin-1.7.0-51,              NOT 56.

No comments about using "strings".  If no windows are opening up, I 
can't do a "uname -r" on a dead system.  Unless someone comes up with a 
*good* reason NOT to use it, it stays in.

I've been using cygwin since the B20 days so I think I know a little 
about it.  I seemed to remember the days when "uname -r" never gave the 
complete version and sub-version.

I frequently perform updates of the 1.7 release,  This allow me just 
click-away and it is done.  I don't always fire it up as I'm frequently 
running my 1.5 system.  Yesterday was a bad day for this activity.
