The core Cygwin DLL (/bin/cygwin1.dll) has no support for dynamic loading.
You may have been lucky before in that the functionality you had in your
DLL didn't require the loading of the core one.  Apparently this has
changed between 1.5.5 and 1.5.7.  Since this isn't supported, you're
basically on your own...  Sorry.
