Install problems

Yes, you're mixing up binaries for Cygwin B19, which require
cygwinb19.dll, and binaries for Cygwin B20(.x), which are looking for
cygwin1.dll!
You should only use Cygwin B20 binaries and also cygwin1.dll, because
B19 is quite outdated.
If don't have this dll, you have to download and install usertools.exe
from Cygnus or one of the mirrors. Besides the dll you get a bunch of
GNU utilities, which are very useful.

Bye.
Michael.
