1 - Sorry for this mistake
2 - I'm working on a cygwin port because i use the cygwin environment
    (shell + autoconf + automake ...) but the resulting dlls don't need
    cygwin unix elulation stuff. And as the doc says, if you don't need
    unix emulation, use -mno-cygwin to get faster programs/libs.

It's truely a cygwin problem, i use the cygwin gcc compiler, the cygwin tools
the cygwin whateveryoulike but it doesn't do what it is expected to do.
ie a cygwin1.dll independant lib.

I was making a bug report so please don't flame me without good arguments.
