That sounds like a reasonable approach, but I don't have time to dig 
into it right now.  I don't actually know the innards of the Cygw32 
build very well.  I never use that build myself, and I only build it 
when someone asks me to test something.  Kazuhiro, are you interested in 
giving Eli's suggestion a try?  I have a feeling that you're more 
familiar with that part of the code than I am.
