First, my apologies for the delay in response.  My old computer on which
I packaged 'd' died soon after, and I was without a computer for a few
weeks.  I just tonight got online with my new(er) computer.
I duplicated this bug with similar results in every shell, except for
rxvt, which just shows two boxes in place of the ASCII characters.  This
is likely a bug in the upstream version, and I have passed this along to
the author.  When I have more news I hope to get back to you.

Re: Cygwin port of Perl broken on Win32? Or does Cygwin not run on win32?

[linda w]

I've always wanted to put cygwin tools *first* in my path before win32 
tools since
in some cases, there are hidden win32 tools that obscure well known *nix 
tools, like
'find' (being a primitive file string search).

Do you actually install both Perl installs?  I'm still running on a 
laptop for my  main desktop...not
having the best of luck these days since Dell decided to go 
middle-ware-only dealer and
not go for cutting edge HW in business capable computers (they have 
their consumer line of
Wide-screen laptops, incompatible with most monitors, making them 
unsuitable for business, but
make their business sized laptops incompatible with any docking station 
-- also incompatible with
business usage -- forcing you to use lattitudes where you pay $1000 more 
for less features.

Marketing poopoo all over customers -- like their customer support -- 
business customers will
get support personel who can speak english, but home customers still get 
sexist thick accent
Indians who only know how to read a script and "act" real polite (it's 
the left over Britsh influence)
while telling you to * off.  It took me 10 months to solve what should 
have been a simple 3 week
problem because they don't talk to each other on each side of the ocean 
and the Indian side has no authority to do anything, but the american 
side that has authority won't talk with customers, so you
go around in circles for 10 months to fix screwed up orders that used to 
be fixable in 3 weeks.

It's an attempt to tire out the customer because Indians can talk on the 
phone for hours without really
saying or accomplishing anything and get paid, per year about the cost 
of 2-3 machines, so it's
very cost effective to route customer problem calls to India where all 
but the most diehard customers
will just give up.  It was only the  possibility of losing large 
business customers that got them special
treatment and the ability to contact US support centers (which they'll 
have to restaff, most likely with
ex employees hired back as contractors so Dell won't have to pay 
benefits.  I hear they took
business management courses from Microsoft on how to \detain\ the best 
without really paying
for them.

It is the way mount works (in any Unix)! You can force a mount without a mount point, 
but ls the parent directory and you see why. The only question you could arise for 
Cygwin here is why they use a mount at all for /usr/bin, but that's in the FAQ 
although I suppose it is more for historical reasons and the (unnecessary) hassle that 
would arise separating these directories now.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Win32:: Perl library updated for latest Cygwin

[Rafael Kitover]

It's been almost a year, and I've received some reports about builds
failing. I've resolved a few problems and everything should be working.
Hoping to pick this up a bit again and maybe make a Cygwin package.

This project provides the core Win32:: and libwin32 ability for Cygwin
Perl. It is available at:

https//sourceforge.net/projects/libwin32-exp/

To use:

Download and install the Win32CORE module (via perl Makefile.PL; make;
make install).

Then install the libwin32-exp module distribution, using the same set of
commands.

Please report any problems to me.

I'm guessing that jabber is by default using fork/exec.  Why didn't
you just leave it this way?

A look into the jabberd sources should give a hint which signal is
expected.  In theory there should be a signal handler which then cares
for jabberd's child process.  Assuming it is a SIGHUP handler, send
SIGHUP from cygrunsrv.  Cygrunsrv has no idea about child processes
started from it's inferior process.  It's the responsibility of that
process to care for its children.  This is different from the situation
in the shell where a Ctrl-C results in a SIGINT sent to all processes
not detached from the console.  A process started with spawn(_P_NOWAIT)
is not detached from the console.

Debugging jabberd might give a clue, too.

RE: How to execute bash file under /usr/bin despite setting PATH= "/us r/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH"

[Nguyen, Huu-Dung]

OK

Now i understand a little bit (NOT 100%) the fine features of /usr/bin as
mount point and as physicically existing directory.

I encounter the problem while installing a tool running on Cygwin, that
comes from MicroCross (www.microcross.com) XTools
The tool installs all important things and the bash setup file to /usr/bin.

In this case i can only rename my /usr/bin to some thing e.g. /usr/local/bin
or the same.

rcp problem

[mohanlal jangir]

I tried to do rcp from cygwin to linux machine but I got following error :

$ rcp   temp.txt  10.10.10.45:/home/mohanlal
10.10.10.45:  Permission denied

This seems to be user validity issue. Command "whoami" at cygwin as well as
at linux machine returns "mohanlal".
On machine 10.10.10.45, I have created file .rhosts in /home/mohanlal
directory granting permission to the machine I am doing rcp from. Password
on windows machine running cygwin and on linux machine are same. Any clue,
how can I get it work?

Re: rcp problem

[Joe]

Some things to check:

- the .rhosts file on Linux must be owned by you or by root and have
permissions of 0600.

- did you use a hostname or IP address in .rhosts?  It must be a hostname.
Also, ping that hostname and make sure it displays the IP address of the
cygwin system to be sure it resolves correctly.

- passwords being the same does not matter - rcp does not use passwords

Download discrepencies

I tried to download cygwin, using setup.exe version 2.416, chosing
"default" for all packages except "install" for XFree86. Tried 3
different mirrors and all gave me me different number of packages
and MBytes downloaded, like:
ufl.edu   122 files  88.8 MB
rcn.net   120 files  81.1 MB
anl.gov33 files  23.2 MB
Am I doing something wrong?

Ok.  This is your first and only warning.  This is complete and utter
garbage and does not belong on the cygwin mailing list.  If you persist
in sending off-topic and inflammatory messages like this you will be
blocked.

This is not the first time you've felt compelled to tell us a story
about your life but I've let it slide.  This is not a support forum
where you get to vent or fill us in on your life's frustrations.  It is
a mailing list designed to discuss cygwin.  If you can't understand the
distinction then you should refrain from posting entirely.

And all this time I've been running cygwin with no physical c:\cygwin\usr\bin 
directory.
Maybe I should open up a DOS window and create it.  No I don't think I will.
I think the mount of "C:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin" is sufficient.

Re: Missing October 2003 mbox archives

Ok, the files are there now, but the links to the October mbox archives on

While we're on the topic, the cygwin-developers list has not been archived
in mbox format since March 2003, and cygwin-xfree seems to have both
monthly and quarterly archives for some periods of time (2002-q[1234] and

Oh, and could cygwin-announce please be archived quarterly?  It would make
the archives much easier to search.

I did.

The "you" above was meant to refer to the poster.  I just thought no one
had offered him a simple standard compliant alternative.

"This is not ANSI!" is good to know, but "This is ANSI and does the same
thing." is usually better.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] New Package: WordNet-2.0-1 - An online lexical reference system

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

The package WordNet is now available with the Cygwin distribution:

 * http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/ (Homepage)
 * ftp://ftp.cogsci.princeton.edu/pub/wordnet/2.0/  (Download location) 
 
DESCRIPTION:


WordNet is an online lexical reference system. Word forms in WordNet are
represented in their familiar orthography; word meanings are represented 
by synonym sets (synsets) - lists of synonymous word forms that are 
interchangeable in some context. Two kinds of relations are recognized: 
lexical and semantic. Lexical relations hold between word forms; semantic 
relations hold between word meanings.

This package has a command-line and a Tcl/Tk interface included.


Enjoy
Volker

Re: rsync horribly broken

[linda w]

If that's the case, how did rsync generate the list of files to copy?  
Why would rsync
not be able to read them but cp would?  Seems like an odd restriction 
"rsync can read
and compare network paths, but can't actually open the paths to copy 
them because
it can't understand the paths that it created through it's own iteration.

2nd, how would half the files succeed/compare successfully after being 
copied via "cp".
Are you saying other linux commands have special processing in them to 
handle "//"?  I've
just always assumed that was handled transparently by the cygwin path layer?

Rsync's handling of the paths is "inconsistent" with other utils under 
cygwin, thus the
reporting of it as a bug.

[Fwd: perl-enabled vim]

[linda w]

At one point there was some talk of enabling perl with the functionality 
being
loadable (that's the default, actually).  When the perl command is used, 
that's
when it goes off and looks for perl61.dll.

I was wondering what ever happened to that effort -- were people afraid 
perl61.dll
was always autoloaded?   That seemed to be the main objection I saw for 
it...

setup hangs when installing keychain

[Karl M]

Hi All...

I just tried to update keychain on two machines, both win2k. In both cases, 
setup (the version
currently on the Cygwin web page) downloads and then when it says it is 
installing, goes to 100%
CPU and starts eating up memory until the machine runs out of memory.

I tried a reboot, and an uninstall/reinstall to no avail.

I looked at the downloaded files (I was looking for a postinstall) and 
didn't get any clues.

I can send a cygcheck, but I'm not sure that is is relevant for this.

1) Can others reproduce this?

2) What else can I do to track it down?

Thanks,

...Karl

Karl,

This could be some weird mount issue. or a directory in place where a
symlink should be in the package...

Can you "Cancel" out of setup?  If so, look at the resultant
/var/log/setup.log.full for clues.  If not, run setup under gdb - even
with a non-debug version, the log messages should be printed on the
console, and you'll able to see them.

I think someone also reported similar behavior when the package file was
corrupted.  Try downloading the package using 'wget' instead, and check
its MD5 sum.  Also, try to 'tar tjf' the package tarball.

Right.  They are the ones creating a physical c:\cygwin\usr\bin directory
because their installation mechanism is to Win(un)zip all the files.
Their installation instructions also tell you to uninstall Cygwin and remove
all the cygwin files and directories, and to remove all the registry entries 
for Cygwin Solutions, (which happen to include the mount points).
Looks like their version of Cygwin is ancient, either 1.2 or 1.3.22.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Test: pdksh-5.2.14-3

[Igor Pechtchanski]

I've updated pdksh to version 5.2.14-3.  This is a maintainership change
release, so it's marked "test".  Please install and test it.  If no
problems crop up, we'll make it "curr" in a week or so.  See below for a
list of changes.

NOTE: this version requires Cygwin 1.5.*, and *will not* work with earlier
versions of Cygwin.  If you still use Cygwin 1.3.22 (although why you'd
want to is beyond me), install pdksh-5.2.14-2.


PD-ksh is a clone of the AT&T Korn shell. At the moment, it has most of
the ksh88 features, not much of the ksh93 features, and a number of it's
own features.

Changes since 5.2.14-2:

- Maintainer switch (previous ports maintained by Elfyn McBratney)
- Minimized the amount of struct option changes.
- Switched to the new FHS
- Fixed up the postinstall script
- Switched to build method 2 and fixed the source package to fully
  recreate the distribution
  - in particular, changed the default binary name to "pdksh"
- Changed configure and autoconf files to detect Cygwin
- Updated the README


To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Shells" and

Because it doesn't really understand the // prefix, as I said.  It
probably "optimizes" multiple slashes to one slash at some point in
its filename manipulation.

Does MicroCross provide source code for the cygwin

I'm sure this has come up before but I'd like to hear from anyone who has

Cygwin Package List Web Page Suggestion

[Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID)]

Often I have question about package (for example, what it requires) and must
look up the answer in setup.ini.  If it wouldn't be too much trouble, it
would be convenient if the mechanism that makes
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/packages/ or
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/packages/package_name would include a link
to the setup.hint for the package.

Thanks for your consideration,

At a guess, you probably changed the From: address.
It's surprising that you got no bounce messages, though - usually ezmlm is
very good about sending those.

Re: setup hangs when installing keychain

[Karl M]

Hi All...

Thanks Igor. I looked at /var/log/setup.log.full and saw that it failing to 
write to /usr/share/doc/keychain-2.0.3/ChangeLog. The directory had no write 
permission for the owner (administrator).

I have never touched this directory, so I don't know how the permissions got 
broken. Looking around, I also saw some other directories with dxrxrxr (no 
w). I don't know where they are getting it from, perhaps postinstall 
scripts?

I don't know why this would make setup go to 100% CPU and start eating 
memory.

Thanks,

...Karl

Karl,

This could be some weird mount issue. or a directory in place where a
symlink should be in the package...
Can you "Cancel" out of setup?  If so, look at the resultant
/var/log/setup.log.full for clues.  If not, run setup under gdb - even
with a non-debug version, the log messages should be printed on the
console, and you'll able to see them.
I think someone also reported similar behavior when the package file was
corrupted.  Try downloading the package using 'wget' instead, and check
its MD5 sum.  Also, try to 'tar tjf' the package tarball.

Setup hangs in postinstall

[Michael Robbert]

A co-worker and I are trying to debug a problem that we came across 
while trying to do a new install of Cygwin on a clients computer. We 
have the current version of Setup.exe(2.416) and we have tried to 
install from a couple of mirrors, but even when doing just a base 
install the process hangs on two postinstall scripts. 
base-files-mketc.sh and base-files-profile.sh
If you hit cancel in setup you end up with a partially working system. I 
have been able to open a bash shell and kill those processes and the 
rest of the scripts run fine. I then try to run the scripts manually and 
they still hang. I have run them with sh -x to see where they're getting 
stuck and I have found that it is any time they try to assign a variable 
to the output of a command i.e.: OSNAME="`/bin/uname -s`"
I can reproduce the problem with just that line on from a bash or sh 
shell prompt. I have also tried to strace this command, but I get no 
output at all. Setting variables to a simple string works fine.

What is interesting is that the problem happens on both my laptop and 
the clients workstation, but not my co-workers laptop. They are all 
running XP SP1. I also can not reproduce the problem on another laptop 
that is running Windows 2000 SP4. There are a few less minor patches on 
my co-workers laptop, but that is the only difference that we can think 
of. What else can we look at to find out why this problem is happening 
on two computers, but not others?

Anonymous ftp - ls hangs

[Andrew DeFaria]

I decided to resurrect anonymous ftp on a server here under Cygwin and 
managed to get it working again except that when one ftp's and types ls 
the ls hangs. I search the list and found one person having a similar 
problem but his question was never answered.

Why is ls hanging and how do I fix it?

Re: Setup hangs in postinstall

[Michael Robbert]

Brian,
Thanks for your quick response, but we have done multiple searches on 
google and the list archives. I read every post that I could find about 
the problems in October where setup was hanging during postinstall. That 
is where I got many of my ideas for debugging already i.e. gdb, strace, 
sh -x
The message that you point my to is about an update to bash, I checked 
my version of bash and it is already 2.05b-16. That is what is installed 
by default with the current installer. So, I'm sorry that doesn't lead 
to a solution.

they still hang. I have run them with sh -x to see where they're getting
stuck and I have found that it is any time they try to assign a variable
to the output of a command i.e.: OSNAME="`/bin/uname -s`"
I can reproduce the problem with just that line on from a bash or sh
shell prompt. I have also tried to strace this command, but I get no
output at all. Setting variables to a simple string works fine.
What is interesting is that the problem happens on both my laptop and
the clients workstation, but not my co-workers laptop. They are all
running XP SP1. I also can not reproduce the problem on another laptop
that is running Windows 2000 SP4. There are a few less minor patches on
my co-workers laptop, but that is the only difference that we can think
of. What else can we look at to find out why this problem is happening
on two computers, but not others?
Maybe the mailing list archives or google?

Let us know if this does not lead you to the solution.
How about that one : http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-12/msg00032.html
I'm having similar problems (random hangs with bash on command 
substitution under cygwin), still unresolved.

setup seems to miss a few packages

[Karl M]

Hi All...

I noticed during a full install, that setup seems to miss a few packages. 
What I mean is that I ran
setup for a new install. I then ran setup again, as soon as it finished from 
the same mirror and it
found a few more packages to install. I was asleep at the wheel, so I didn't 
notice what I got the
second time. I didn't select anything the second time, just quickly clicked 
yes to all the panels.
I don't understand why it didn't get all of the packages the first time.

Thanks,

...Karl

Re: Cygrunsrv and spawned processes

[Frank Seesink]

Igor,

Just to be clear, I have now spent the better part of the day working on
this, trying to fathom what's going on.  All I can say is, cygrunsrv is
doing _something_ differently when it comes to running Cygwin apps
compared to running them from the BASH shell.
I have now tested this every way from Sunday, and sure enough, if I run
Jabberd from BASH ('-D' is for debug mode):
$ cd /usr/local/jabber
$ ./jabberd/jabberd.exe -D
jabberd.exe fires up and spawns jabadns.exe.  When I hit CTRL-C, both
die gracefully.  When I use cygrunsrv, for example with the following:
cygrunsrv --install jabberd --path /usr/local/jabber/jabberd/jabberd
--args "-D" --chdir /usr/local/jabber --env
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin --disp "JABBER Server" --user jabber
--termsig INT --shutdown
and then type

	net start jabberd

jabberd.exe fires up and spawns jabadns.exe.  However, when I type

	net stop jabberd

only jabberd.exe dies.  jabadns.exe remains behind.  Again, if I repeat
this process, I end up with zombie jabadns.exe processes, each consuming
a few MB RAM.
It's not so much the RAM usage as the inconsistency.  I would love to
have this working cleanly.
I've also run Jabberd in debug mode (it's quite verbose), and using the
example above, the debug logs are _identical_.  They show the same
signal (2) being received, and the exact same sequence of debug
messages.  So it's not like jabberd.exe is being killed off viciously
with a 'kill -9' type termination.  But for some reason, jabadns.exe is
not being terminated.
The only thing I can think to do now is add a bunch of environment vars
to the cygrunsrv line, but not sure what could possibly be needed by
cygrunsrv to kill a process.  Only thought I have left.
Igor Pechtchanski wrote:

...
Frank,

When you press Ctrl-C in bash, the application gets SIGINT.  When you stop
the service installed by cygrunsrv, by default the signal is SIGTERM,
which the application may not handle gracefully.  Try the '--termsig INT'
('-s 2') cygrunsrv option.

This tells me that cygrunsrv is not giving you a full environment within

Hey Corinna,

Sorry, poor choice of words.  Basically, cygrunsrv does not provide a 
shell within which to run the app.  Better? :-)  I'm afraid I didn't 
know quite how to word this.

Anyway, I'm grasping at straws.  I'd just love to get this working 
properly without leftover processes building up.  Any more 
thoughts/ideas I can try?  I'll give anything a whack. :-)
I'm guessing that jabber is by default using fork/exec.  Why didn't
you just leave it this way?
Actually, no, not in the DNS portion.  Bear in mind I was working with 
code written long before I got involved with Jabber/XMPP.  Jabberd 1.4.x 
relies on GNU Pth to do its threading, with 2 exceptions:  one call in 
the base portion of code, and one call in the dnsrv (DNS resolver) 
portion.  The base code (for Linux/BSD/etc.) does use fork(), but it 
seems that--along with the lack of BIND/libresolv under Cygwin as a 
package--fork() was problematic at the time, so the dnsrv code was 
apparently overhauled for Cygwin, using spawnlp() instead of fork(), 
with several other minor mods done.

Now, with the recent introduction of minires as a proper Cygwin package, 
I tried again yesterday to build Jabberd v1.4.3 using the original code 
(i.e., no Cygwin-specific source w/ spawnlp(), etc.).  I _WAS_ able to 
build Jabberd once I added -lresolv to LIBS and made a few minor 
adjustments to Makefiles, notably adding an EXPORT value to the main 
executable so the dnsrv module could 'see' certain variables.

Unfortunately, upon firing up Jabberd, I get...

$ ./jabberd/jabberd.exe

20031205T22:35:39: [alert] (dnsrv): dnsrv failed to start, unable to 
fork and/or
 create pipes


And it hangs so bad that CTRL-C will not kill it.  I have to use the 
Windows Task Manager to kill the process outright (I assume 'kill -9' 
from another BASH shell would work as well).

It took me awhile to track this down to the fork() call in dnsrv, but 
that is definitely where this occurred.  I added some debug code just 
before/after the fork(), then ran Jabberd in debug mode (its debug mode, 
not gdb, where it outputs text to a file) to confirm.  Tried Googling on 
the error messages about heap allocation and sync_with_child, but not 
much out there at all.

After noting some info about DLLs not loading where they should, I tried 
using Jason Tishler's rebase tool (copy/rewritten version of 'rebaseall' 
to rebase the DLLs in Jabber, not the one that only works on the Cygwin 
DLLs), but no good.  So any thoughts/ideas on where to look next would 
be greatly appreciated.

A look into the jabberd sources should give a hint which signal is
expected.  In theory there should be a signal handler which then cares
for jabberd's child process.  Assuming it is a SIGHUP handler, send
SIGHUP from cygrunsrv.
Well, using signal() they have mapped functions to handle SIGHUP, 
SIGINT, and SIGTERM.  I've tried sending SIGINT (what you effectively do 
when hitting CTRL-C), SIGHUP, SIGTERM, you name it.  Also tried adding 
every env var I could think of to the cygrunsrv --install command to 
match the BASH shell, in case there was something there I was missing.

>Cygrunsrv has no idea about child processes
started from it's inferior process.  It's the responsibility of that
process to care for its children.  This is different from the situation
in the shell where a Ctrl-C results in a SIGINT sent to all processes
not detached from the console.  A process started with spawn(_P_NOWAIT)
is not detached from the console.
BINGO!  This is EXACTLY the reason then.  So my statement stands.  There 
most definitely IS a difference between running a Cygwin app under a 
shell vs. via cygrunsrv.  And you just pointed it out.

This is what I wanted to know.  Now the question is, is there any way to 
get similar behavior to what you get with a shell like BASH?  I've tried 
having cygrunsrv run a shell within which to launch Jabberd, but all I 
end up is the shell dying and BOTH jabberd.exe and jabadns.exe left 
behind.  So I'm guessing that sending a SIGINT from cygrunsrv to a BASH 
shell is also different than doing it manually, as it does not propogate 
(or whatever technical term you wish to throw at it).  The BASH shell

Actually, it does.  What you did was send the bash process a signal.  If
you did that "normally", you would see the same behavior.  However, you
sent the signal via a key stroke interpreted by bash.  That is the difference.

What do you define as the equivalent of "net stop jaberd" on Linux?

Anyway, the attached patch to cygrunsrv seems like a good idea and should
accomplish this, I think.

It's because you chose the "download" option rather than the "install"

Hi,

If somebody wants to use Cygwin GPG with Outlook with G-Data plugin.
G-Data plugin is available from www3.gdata.de, with sources.
I had to rebuild GDGPG.dll with some small changes, because I got "wrong
passphrase" error and then, an outlook fopen error.
I used Visual C++ 6.0 and I had to download Windows Template Library from
MS. Also, the program can be debuged attaching outlook.exe to the project
settings.
For the key management I use only cygwin gpg from commnad line.

Some questions about ImageMagick and cygwin

Bob ---

It looks like we have a sucker^W volunteer to contribute (and maintain) 
an ImageMagick package for the cygwin platform.  However, a few 
packaging questions have arisen.  I raise a bunch of issues below, but I 
do have a solution -- and a question (or three).

Because IM provides two shared libraries that can be used from other 
third party applications, the DLLs need to 'live' in their own, 
versioned, package -- like we do for ncurses, for instance:

  libncurses7   (contains cygncurses7.dll, cygform7.dll, etc)
  libncurses-devel (contains the .a's, .dll.a's, .h's, and API docs)
  ncurses   (contains the utility progs, etc)
That way, if rxvt is linked against cygncurses7.dll, but the next 
version of ncurses causes an API change, we simply bump the DLL version 
number, and create a new matching package to distribute the new DLL: 
libncurses8-X.Y-Z.tar.bz2   Thus, the user can install both 
libncurses7(-A.B-C.tar.bz2) and libncurses8(-X.Y-Z.tar.bz2), and get the 
new dll but keep the old dll so that rxvt keeps working without 
requiring a recompile or relink.  Note tho, that the -devel and (main) 
packages get replaced -- so any newly linked 3rd party apps after this 
would use cygncurses8.dll; and of course the ncurses apps shipped with 
ncurses itself would all use the new dll.

In this case, IM creates 'cygMagick-6.dll' (and cygMagick++-6.dll).  So, 
naturally those go into

  libMagick6
 (with release versioning info tacked on after the actual
  "package name":  libMagick6-5.5.7-1.tar.bz2)
  libMagick-devel
  ImageMagick
So that it can coexist with a later 'libMagick7' package which contains 
cygMagick-7.dll if there is ever an API breakage.

Now, let us assume that in the fullness of time, package "FOO" is 
released which uses libMagick.  So, it's linked against cygMagick-6.dll. 
 Then, there's a new release of ImageMagick, version 5.9.2 or whatever, 
which has an API breakage, leading to cygMagick-7.dll.  Fine and dandy.

But IM shared libs "know" about their modules directories; they load 
their modules -- which can be "dropped in" at any time of course -- 
specifically from the **compiled in** path: in this case, 
/usr/lib/ImageMagick-5.5.7/*.  (let's call this "MODULEDIR")  Now, if 
the files in MODULEDIR are part of the 'ImageMagick' package, then when 
I upgrade to the ImageMagick-5.9.2-1 package, it will replace 
(uninstall) my old IM-5.5.7 package.  So

   /usr/lib/ImageMagick-5.5.7/* goes away, to be replaced by
   /usr/lib/ImageMagick-5.9.2/*
But now my poor cygMagick-6.dll (which is still needed by the FOO 
package, remember) can't find its modules (and it can't use the 5.9.2 
modules, of course).

Okay, so it seems that the files in MODULEDIR need to follow the same 
scheme as the DLL's: keep 'em around in a separate package, using the 
DLLVER numbering scheme:

  libMagick6  -- contains the (main) DLLs
  ImageMagick6-- contains the modules (also dlls)
  libMagick-devel -- implibs, statlibs, headers, man
  ImageMagick -- progs, man, docs
This way, 5.9.2 can provide ImageMagick7 and libMagick7, which can 
coexist with ImageMagick6 and libMagick6 -- so FOO still works.  (of 
course, I replace my 5.5.7 -devel and (main) package with the 5.9.2 
version, so that I get to use the latest-n-greatest IM applications)

But now, there are possibly two other problems: (MARKER ONE), suppose 
that instead of 5.9.2 being released, we release 5.5.8 -- which does NOT 
change the main DLL's API.  So, the DLLVER stays at 6, so we have

  libMagick6-5.5.8-1 contains a new version of cygMagick-6.dll et.al.
  ImageMagick6-5.5.8-1 now contains /usr/lib/ImageMagick-5.5.8/* (and 
because the package name is the same, this replaces -- e.g. uninstalls 
-- my old ImageMagick6-5.5.7-1 package, so /usr/lib/ImageMagick-5.5.7/* 
is gone.

But this is probably okay, because FOO was dynamically linked against 
cygMagick-6.dll, so it'll dynamically use the NEW cygMagick-6.dll, which 
knows to look in /usr/lib/ImageMagick-5.5.8, not -5.5.7.

(I'm assuming that if FOO was statically linked against libMagick.a, it 
would then ALSO statically link against all of the modules, and use 
ltdl's fake "dlopen-from-a-statlib" stuff to access module 
functionality.  If that is NOT the case [e.g. if you could link 
statically against the old libMagick.a, but still access the DLLs of the 
modules from /usr/lib/ImageMagick-5.5.7/ using "real" dlopen() -- which 
is, I believe, the case] then we've got another big problem, because 
/usr/lib/ImageMagick-5.5.7 is gone and with it, those module dlls -- but 
that problem is also solved by my "solution" below.)

(MARKER TWO) Now, suppose that after the cygwin version of IM-5.5.7 hits 
the streets, something happens which changes the API -- but only on 
cygwin, and BEFORE the IM-5.5.8 release.  Say, for instance, we have to 
recompile all of the packages to enable 64bit file
