Idea, to help debug things like the above:
Alt 1) Make an _unstripped_ cygwin1.dll available in a package named
"cygwin-DEBUG-dll" or some such. Also make it be "TEST/Exp" forever.
Alt 2) Have an unstripped cygwin1-DEBUG.dll added to the basic package,
add a simple "cygswapdll" utility.
Is this a Good or Bad idea?
