Thanks!  I will look up your patch and try again.

"Win32 error 126" during the tests, indicating that the system can't load
blib/arch/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.dll.  

I think I was led to try an older version of XML::Parser because of this
message:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-07/msg01105.html

However, the problem with 2.30 may be the same one that you patched with xpat.

Thanks also for your note about not being able to build Win32 DLLs with
undefined symbols.  I don't have any real experience in building things
under Cygwin - if you've got any ideas on the dll issue, please let me know!

I did have some luck changing "extern" declarations to
"__declspec(dllimport) extern".  But then, instead of build time errors, I
got runtime errors.  And then I got busy with other things.  I'll try to
look at it again in the next day or so...

Thanks for your help,

Michael
