Good and quick work!
I was still looking thru my last Cygwin build for the Unicode tables, that I 
remember being rebuilt some time ago, and to find what used them, and whether 
they were updated to Unicode 15.

I'll install the test Cygwin and old dash, then prep and check a new/old dash 
release 3 in test, for release with untest when the Cygwin changes are released, 
rather than play with replacing versions and going back and forth.
