GPL not LGPL?

Well - what's the cygwin-daemon actually supposed to do?  if it's just the
SYSV ipc layer... I don't see there's any reason at all to use anything from
the cygwin library...

I compile the cygipc library without even GCC... so it certainly doesn't
require anything as is from the cygwin library...

I might note there is nothing in the MSWIN ipc libraries which even vaguely
resembles the message queues... not even constructing atoms and using
postthreadmessage... since atoms are limited to 255 ascii characters
(terminating '\0' and all)
