Oh don't worry. I hadn't made my reply to this yet. I am going to use
the DLL and add cygipc as a dependency. SHM will only be enabled if the
daemon is setup properly, but it won't cause problems if it isn't setup.
The other thing here is that I am just lazy. It would take more work
for me to make a static link to cygipc than to link to the DLL.
Thanks for your input,
Harold
