None needed.  The problem was my unobservant eye, and the fact that all
of my files were suddenly executables, which means they were all red.
It was the new DLL and ntsec issue.  After some thrashing around for a
while (the ntsec page in the Users Guide will hurt your brain :), I
finally got everything working.  Or, if you don't want your brain to
hurt, you can just set CYGWIN to 'nontsec'.  :)
