I am curious why Cygwin needs DLLINIT in Makefile.shlib, and Win32
doesn't:

        # Cygwin case
        $(shlib) lib$(NAME).a: $(OBJS) $(DLLINIT)
                $(DLLTOOL) --export-all $(DLLTOOL_DEFFLAGS) --output-def $(NAME).def 
$(OBJS)
                $(DLLWRAP) -o $(shlib) --dllname $(shlib) $(DLLWRAP_FLAGS) --def 
$(NAME).def $(OBJS) $(DLLINIT) $(SHLIB_LINK)
                $(DLLTOOL) --dllname $(shlib) $(DLLTOOL_LIBFLAGS) --def $(NAME).def 
--output-lib lib$(NAME).a
        
        $(DLLINIT): $(DLLINIT:%.o=%.c)
                $(MAKE) -C $(@D) $(@F)
        
        endif # PORTNAME == cygwin
        
        else # PORTNAME == win32
        
        # win32 case
        $(shlib) lib$(NAME).a: $(OBJS)
                $(DLLTOOL) --export-all $(DLLTOOL_DEFFLAGS) --output-def $(NAME).def 
$(OBJS)
                $(DLLWRAP) -o $(shlib) --dllname $(shlib) $(DLLWRAP_FLAGS) --def 
$(NAME).def $(OBJS) $(SHLIB_LINK)
                $(DLLTOOL) --dllname $(shlib) $(DLLTOOL_LIBFLAGS) --def $(NAME).def 
--output-lib lib$(NAME).a
        
        endif # PORTNAME == win32

The only difference I see is that Cygwin uses $(DLLINIT) while Win32 does
not.  Is that correct?  Why?

Both set DLLINIT in their makefiles:

        DLLINIT = $(top_builddir)/src/utils/dllinit.o

Could they be merged into a single snipped of code?
