Actually I was not making myself clear :) I didn't wanna copy the
executables there, just the dynamic link libraries. And yes, modifying
the path would work, I suppose - if I make sure all new
packages/libraries I install under cygwin put their libraries in the
same place - otherwise adding a new path everytime would sort of defy
the idea behind this.

Visual Studio is absolutely out of the question :) No M$ products
whenever I can avoid it. No, I'm not a general Microsoft hater, I do
appreciate the one good software that has come out of Redmond, being MS
Access ;) But apart from that, yes, Microsoft is teh shit *g*

That's an argument in favour of using MinGw, but so far, it seems all I
need to do to run cygwin-built applications on other systems, is the
cygwin1.dll - or was that just working because I tested a very simple
(network socket demonstration) and I will run into more problems once I
use more funcionality?
Thanks again!
