Hi !

Hmm - LibGGI, which also heavily uses dynamic library loading, works since
we used the very latest version of cywin. IIRC it is called 20.1b or
something ... wait ... sorry - deleted the file that would have told.
But it is announced on the cywin site.

> The DLL backend did not work (there where no .so.1 files),

Yes. You need to hack the backend to search for .dll and make sure they are
in the PATH. LibGGI uses a mapping file a la

module-name path/to/module.so

which can be easily autoconfed to use .dll on win.

No - the hard part is getting the HAL to work. I don't think cygwin will
try to emulate /dev/sg* on ASPI. But it is good to know, we have a working
development tool.

CU, Andy
