ELFIO 1.0.0

I took a look at this. It was fun to create an ELF "Hello, World!" 
binary from Cygwin. The src package compiles fine, too. I do have two 
suggestions: 

1. Include the tutorial.cpp file in the binary package (since you 
include the tutorial.pdf file anyway) so as to not make people using the
tutorial type it in. This is totally unrelated to Cygwin, but you 
(Serge) might also put it on elfio.sf.net

2. Put a note that more examples are available in the src
package (for novices). Maybe in /usr/doc/Cygwin/ELFIO-1.0.0.README

But, these are definitely not show-stoppers.

Also, doesn't the /lib/libELFIO.a need to be /usr/bin/libELFIO.dll to 
work on Win9x/ME? I think Nicholas had checked this out earlier, I 
don't have an older Windows installed. 
I'm also not a library expert, so I may be just plain wrong.

In the setup.hint, maybe include the category "Libs"?

Nice library, it's got my vote.
