What timing.  Right after I started building 4.3.6, I got an email stating
that 4.3.7 will be released shortly to resolve security issue
CVE-2007-2452.  So look for 4.3.7 instead, once it is ready to go.
Fortunately, cygwin is pretty much immune to CVE-2007-2452, since it is
pretty hard for cygwin's PATH_MAX of 260 to overflow the fixed buffer
length of 1026 in affected versions of locate :)
