I got version info stuff working in a cygwin binary as well - but ONLY after
replacing the windres in my /bin with the one in the egcs-1.1.2-mingw
package. There is no windres.exe in the egcs-1.1.2-cygwin package that I
could see; I can only assume that my old windres was either from the
original B20.1 installation, or from egcs-1.1.1-cygwin.
