I suspect this is a problem in cygwin.

There is (what sounds like) a similar problem when building libxcb's 
documentation, in that it gets stuck somewhere in doxygen, waiting for a 
load of dot.exe processes to finish even after they're all done.

I bisected that to working under 3.3.6 and failing under 3.4.0, but 
there's nothing obviously related in that interval, and I haven't found 
the time to bisect the commits...

Since the DLL has a soversion number, not placing it in a separate 
package seems contraindicated.

(I take the point that we're *probably* not going to be packaging 
anything linked against is, but gratuitously breaking user-built 
executables linked against it if the soversion ever changes seems a bit 
mean... I guess maybe if we really think that's the only use-case, we 
should only build it as a static library?)
