Re: simply cygwin1.dll

[Rolf Campbell <thats dot unpossible at gmail dot com>]

When I've had this problem, it's been a permission issue.  If you use 
wget or some other cygwin tool to download the snapshot, then it will 
not set the exec permissions.  But when you copy a file using explorer, 
it will set the exec permissions.
