"several releases" == "a couple of years"
You haven't been able to reliably, dynamically load cygwin dlls for some
time now. For me, it is not an issue about finding the time; it is
finding the interest. I really am not overly bothered by this
restriction. So, if anyone is under the impression that this is just a
lack of time, that is not the case, at least for me, and, I suspect that
Corinna is in the same boat.
