Doh! That's a good idea! :)

Quick question about that patch. Should I have applied it to the 
scribus-1.2cvs-cygwin snapshot myself? I saw the patch there, but 
thought it may have been for those updating from older snapshots or 
something... Maybe that was one of my problems. Anyway, thanks for 
helping me better understand the importance of the cygwin patch. I'll be 
looking into applying it to both the old and the new cvs snapshots of 
Scribus just as soon as I can.

Yes and thank you again. The first thing I plan to do is apply it to the 
cvs release it was intended for. I really would just like to nail down 
somewhat of a process for building Scribus as much as anything else. 
Just for the sake of getting a fairly easy to follow recipe nailed down. 
That way I may even be able to script the process somewhat. I don't 
know, we'll see how things go. I want to both work on packaging and 
testing the new cvs branch... But that's perhaps getting ahead of myself. :)

Thanks again for the help.

Cheers!
