Rolling back to 1.5.11 is fine...in terms of dependencies, but 1.5.11, now 
the oldest avaliable via setup, has the hanging problem with native unison 
et. al. The latest working version with native unison was IIRC 1.5.10-3 and 
this version does have dependencies problems with current versions of other 
packages.

I am asking my question about resolution of the native unison hanging 
problem because there was discussion by Corinna and Chris on cygwin-patches 
about possibly working around the problem until fixed. This used to work for 
the last few years.

Is it intended for this to continue to work?

Before I ask for help to build a patched (unpatched?) cygwin1.dll, I was 
hoping to find out what I should expect. I would not take lightly, trying to 
maintain a special dll version. In the earlier discussions, it sounded like 
Corinna could reproduce the problem when asking if part of some recent pipe 
changes should be reverted until a long term fix was found. I don't mind 
temporarily making a special cygwin1.dll, but long term I wouldn't want to 
do that.

Thanks,

...Karl
