Perhaps, but as long as the Cygwin DLL etc do support 95, it seems that
Setup should be self contained and not require W95 users (all dozen of them
;-)) to hunt down DLLs all over the internet.  Perhaps I'll whip up a
regular Setup installer which includes the necessary redistributables.

Mr. Thibault, do you have any interest in helping test out whatever I come
up with?  I haven't had access to a Win95 machine since... well, pretty much
forever in PC-years, so the only testing I could do myself would be that it
doesn't wreck anything with XP Pro and Home, and maybe ME if I can ressurect
that machine.
