Subject: Am I missing something?

I had to change wincap.{cc,h} in order to get the 6/9/2002 snapshot to
work for me.  Without that, every cygwin program would segfault before
entering main, due to trying to access wincapc in the pthreads
initialization code.

It seems odd, however, that there's been no discussion of such a problem
on this list or the cygwin developer's list.  Thus my question:  have I
missed something?  Or am I the only one trying snapshots?

Anyway, my patch is here, FWIW:
