I would follow the name of the library.
If it is just cyggsasl-18.dll use libgsasl18

I suggest to avoid collision between version 1 and 2.
possibly moving away the old version and leaving in the usual place the 
last one

/usr/include/*.h -> /usr/include/gsasl1/*.h
usr/lib/libgsasl.dll.a usr/lib/gsasl1/libgsasl.dll.a
