I remember when I added support for larger firmware files, there was a
merge that took place to get my changes into the LegOS version of firmdl.
Probably Cygwin support got lost during this merge. This should be put
back into LegOS for sure, and should probably also be put into the version
on my web page so all versions of firmdl are in sync. If somebody does the
LegOS merge, then sends me the relevant files, I will take a look at them
and merge the same functionality into the "official" version on my web
page. Just make sure you don't lose any possible 3.1 functionality when
reverting to 3.0 rcx_comms... I don't think I added any new rcx_comms
functionality in 3.1, but you never know what somebody else might have
done.
