FYI, I bootstrapped msys tools by modifying the cygwin1.dll in the
binary executable. So, it's conceivable to postinstall a sed script
that would modify the dll name with caveats of new functionality not
supported. I can also see the possibility for 32/64 bit versions for
each new release with 32bit versions using libcygwin1.a while 64bit
versions using libcygwin2.a. An arbitrary date would be set to remove
support for a 32bit versions.
