Missing dependencies and Cygwin

[Thorsten Kampe <thorsten at thorstenkampe dot de>]

Hi,

this is more like an observation an not a problem: in the past I 
noticed some third party applications compiled against Cygwin that 
wouldn't because of missing dependencies/DLLs. This was quite obvious 
as I got a big pop-up saying something like "cannot find cygwhatever-
x.y.dll". Then I could look for the package containing the DLL and 
everything was fine.

This seems to have changed as nowadays applications just silently 
return without any visible error. I have to run "strace app" to see 
the same error I used to see without strace.

Is there some kind of "API change" or is it mere coincidence?
