No. Oh! cygport! Well, I mentioned I'd been away from cygwin and all system
projects for several years. It seemed like a good idea, and so I installed
cygport and ran it, and got a clean successful build. Thank you very much
for your time, for testing the build for me, Marco. Onward and upward now.

    Best,
        Soren A.
