Care! Using cygserver like this is inappropriate. Cygserver is a
still-under-early-development very specific tool to provide additional
functionality to Cygwin. It is actually no longer installed by default under
current dev builds of 1.5.

The *correct* way to obtain cygwin1.dll version information is "uname -rv".
