Ok, I will do that. I haven't seen your email, is there someplace I can
go grab your changes, I just went through and re-read the conversation
and I think I originally missed your meaning for the -src problems. I
thought I followed the docs on cygwin.com. I will definately look at
your mods and compare them to what I read. Then I will either send the
list any errors there or recommend clarification since something didn't
make sense... or, I will correct my own processor ;)
