I was able to build a cygwin1.dll independent version of latest 
pre-release srecord using the cygwin boost packages and using the 
-mno-cygwin g++ option as suggested in Peter Miller's srecord release 
BUILDING file. Can do srec_cat -version with the cygwin1.dll(s) removed 
so I think it is right. Had to rm the dll from cygwin and winavr since 
they were both in my path.

Peter Miller has put some new features in the latest pre-release of 1.47 
that I need, specifically fletcher checksums. He has also added adler. 
Before it only had sum of bytes/words and crc.

P/S: the boost stuff seems pretty huge even in cygwin pkg form. Must be 
really great thing! :)
