What I meant is precisely this:

Currently ECL only creates one file (*.dll or *.fas) per compiled file.
When it has to link them together with an executable, it uses the fact that
both cygwin and mingw handle DLLs directly, providing the files and the
-lecl flag. I am just worried that if you change the name to cygecl.dll or
whatever convention is used, the -lecl would stop to work, as cygwin might
look for a file libecl.dll.a (explained in the webpage you linked).

That's all. I am not demanding that you remain silent :-) I just want to
make sure that the change in the name convention does not break building
ECL or its tools.
