So I can't install a private version of the Cygwin DLL without
conflicting with the system cygwin?

<answer><para>
Actually, if you are very careful, you can have two different versions
of the Cygwin DLL installed on your system at the same time but they
must be run serially. The only exception from this rule is, if one of
the DLLs is a pre-1.7 DLL and the other is a 1.7.0 or later DLL. These
DLLs can work concurrently without knowing about each other due to
massive changes using shared resources in Cygwin 1.7. However,
processes using different DLLs will not interact with each other
correctly, so keep them separate except you really really know what
you're doing.
