Re: building moz m117

It would appear that I am running cygwin 1.5.12-1
This is on XP Pro with the latest service pack; changing to
a different (latest is 1.18-1) dll might bring on problems.
Anyone know if upgrading to the latest cygwin will have
problems with MS service pack 2 on XP Pro?

Thanks
Jack
