If you have more than 1 version of Cygwin installed, you need to be careful
not to have multiple versions in your path.  With one in the Windows
directory, that's really not possible if you're trying to use the new
DLL.  This is why we recommend against putting the Cygwin DLL in any
of the default Windows directories.  If you do so, your configuration is
definitely an exception.
