Not if properly handled.

cygunistring-0.dll is in the libunistring0 package; the new 
cygunistring-2.dll should be in a libunistring2 package,  This allows 
both to be installed until such time as everything has been rebuilt for 
the latter, at which time the former can be removed.

Yes, provided that the DLL is in a libunistring2 package.

gettext also uses libunistring, as is the Ports guile2.0 package, both 
of which are mine.
