I might have to rethink this.  First, I'm going to make a bug report 
about the Cygwin/Binutils problem that started all this: The stripped 
executable is messed up when both manifests were used.  I've looked back 
at the discussion when it was decided to add a default manifest on 
Cygwin, and the intention was that this would be ignored if the 
application provided its own manifest.  For some reason that isn't 
working right in this case.
