Cool. Using yes (or blank, blank is preferred IIRC), means that a purely
unix package will build .dll's on cygwin, without any hacks needed
(given the auto-import caveats_.

Are the symbol tables identical in both cases? Would Danny's whole
archive patch help the symbols? I think there must be some way to
prevent ld outputting the imported symbols as well as the exported
symbols...
Anyway, setting always_export to 'no' should be ok for now. Over the
next week I'll do some testing and get back to the list.
