There was a mixup of DLLs, in other words...

Are symlinks possible to do with Cygwin? If they are, I propose we do
it the same way as under Unix (where '.so.0.9.7' ends the file name.
In the Cygwin case, it would end with '.0.9.7.dll' instead...). That
way, it won't be a special case for Cygwin, and the library version
matching will hopefully work well enough. Also, then one can have
symlinks called cygcrypto.dll pointing at the correct library du jour.
