#1058: Cygwin libraries & GNU libtool

Comment (by anonymous):

 Yes.

 Since the *.dll.a files do not have a "lib" prefix, libtool in cygwin does
 not recognize them and will only link with the static libs. This is
 especially a problem if you're trying to use libtool to build a DLL that
 is linked with the boost DLLs.

 It could be a problem with libtool or just me not knowing about certain
 options I should be passing to it (I'm fairly new to autotools), but in
 1.33.1 the libraries had a "lib" prefix and therefore this was not a
 problem.

 Thanks,
 -Mike
