Yup.  I didn't know about cygcheck.  That told me that fastumath is
looking for libpython2.1.dll.  I'm running python 2.2.  So I guess
that's the problem.  The download page does say that the cygwin binary
was built for 2.1, but I hadn't thought to look at that.

So, now I know what's wrong, but I'm not sure what to do about it.  I
may try to build from source.

Thanks for the help.
