Dll number - there is a standard, and if you grab the hacked up libtool
from chucks site, you will automagically create .dll's to that standard.

The standard is
cyg<libname>-<API revision>.

ie
cygpopt-2.dll


API revision only changes when non-backward compatible changes occur -
see the libtool docs on library numbering for more info. (ie -2 is _NOT_
the second revision of the library, and may be the 10 or 20th.)
