The C extension included in DBI::Dumper is precompiled by Inline::C 
rather than the usual MakeMaker-controlled XS->C->dll dance, so the 
usual means of getting debuginfo (via the OPTIMIZE Makefile variable) 
doesn't work.  AFAICS the solution would have to be package-specific 
(although I'm not sure exactly how yet).  I wouldn't spend too much time 
trying to figure this one out though.

BTW, in the future (and this goes for everyone), if you have a question 
about cygport, it would be helpful if you attach the .cygport in 
question, even if it's not perfect, so I don't have to recreate it myself.
