I'm getting the same problem, but I figure we should be able to use the DLL that 
is available from the binary installation.  Unfortunately, when following the 
instructions from the Cygwin web site, I still get the undefined symbols saying 
the functions do not exist.

Since we are porting our stuff over from UNIX, it would be nice if I could use 
this tool...  Oh well, maybe I'll play with it some more, but if anyone else 
makes some progress, please let us know!

Cheers,
Joey
