I know I'm a bit late, but haven't we agreed on $MAJOR$MINOR without dot 
for underscore for the package name and for the dll name see below.
That's disputed because of lack of knowledge.

I want general naming rules for cygwin dll's, as on unix systems.
The only problem is with FFI's though, for dynamic languages.
E.g. http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=51330 for parrot or 
lisp CFFI or perl C::DynaLib.
FFI's don't parse .lo files (yet), because the so/dll names are usually 
quite uniform.

Most do "-$MAJOR.dll", some do "-$MAJOR.$MINOR-$SUB.dll" (X packages) or 
"-$MAJOR.$MINOR.$SUB.dll" (ssl), some do "-$MAJOR.$MINOR.dll", one does 
"$MAJOR$MINOR.dll", perl does "$MAJOR_$MINOR.dll".
But the perl dll will never be called via FFI.
