It's not possible (as far as I'm aware) to mix MinGW-compiled code with
Cygwin-compiled code. Everything compiled by GHC is MinGW, so we can't
link to Cygwin libraries.
Confusion arises because we use Cygwin as a "build environment"; that is we
use all the Cygwin tools to build the software, it's just that the result
of the build is a plain Win32 executable rather than one linked against the
Cygwin runtime.
Cheers,
Simon
