If the package you got contains a cygwin1.dll, try removing it in favor of
the current one (which you can download from www.cygwin.com if you don't 
have it already).  If it contains a cygwinb19.dll, remove it and try copying
the latest cygwin1.dll to cygwinb19.dll.  As I recall, the current DLL is 
binary compatible with B20 and B19, so these procedures should "upgrade"
you directly.  If you have some release before B19, your only option is 
to rebuild with the latest and greatest.  Of course, this is an option even 
if you have something working with B19 or later!;-)
