Hello, all,

Just for curiosity, did some one try to compile cygwin1.dll by VC++? This 
seems to be able to work around the problem of using cygwin1.a library under 
MSVC.

Regards.

It is very unlikely that this would work.

There are several places in cygwin which use g++ extensions.

Even if you managed to compile it that doesn't mean that the cygwin DLL
would naturally play better with MSVC DLLs.  The Cygwin DLL implements
it's own I/O subsystem.  It's not going to be aware of the MSVC
subsystem just because it was compiled with MSVC.

Please don't ask for further explanations.  Feel free to prove me wrong
on this.  This is one of those things where you can easily demonstrate
if this works by trying it.
