Please advise - Clutch related squeal when cold

Please advise on what the problem and solution may be......
Symptoms:
During a cold start driving, I get a high pitch squeal that is engine speed dependent only when the clutch is engaged (pedal fully released). Upon depressing the clutch pedal (during shifting), the noise stops. After a few minutes, the noise goes completely away. I can also get the noise at idle with the car in neutral (clutch engaged-pedal released) during warm up. A light touch to the pedal causes the noise to go away.
The noise has gotten progressively worse over the past year and 10k miles. It also seems to be temperature dependent and most noticeable during cold temps (below 50 F).
My car is a 1997 900SE (obviously 5 speed) with 84K miles. I bought the car 3 years ago with 42K and do not know if the clutch has ever been replaced. At this point, the car shifts fine and the clutch holds normally.
Does anyone have an opinion? Is this something that needs quick attention?
Thanks for the replys!
