Re: documentation on building the cygwin dll

I was able to build the dll with your script. However, how come the new-cygwin1.dll size is over 6 MB? Is this correct? I've
checked the latest version of cygwin1.dll and its size is less than 1 MB.
I'll still do some more experimenting in building the cygwin dll until I get to build it exactly like the binary downloadable from
the mirrors.
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Carlo
