There's also ldh, cygserver, cyglsa.dll But installed into /usr/bin prohibits cygexec on /usr/bin, which slows down all cygwin process starts a tiny bit. >> Then we could use the faster cygexec mount settings, >> and add /mingw/bin or /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin to PATH > > Definitely NOT /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin.

But I always use mingw/msys in a msys bash, not in my cygwin bash. Is it kosher to mix? -- Reini Urban
