It will be changed for the 1.7.x series. You can experiment with the
snapshots <http://cygwin.com/snapshots/> if you like. There are no
firm timeline for the release yet.
this looks interesting and I am glad to give it a try. That being
said, how do i use it, just replace my current cygwin1.dll with the
one I download from this snapshot page?
Yes, if you just want to use it. If you want to build things against
this, then you need the larger set of files. Make sure you've stopped
all Cygwin apps (including services) before doing the replace.
