Ok, can you test this patch?

I just uploaded release -5 to my temp sourceware.org location,
but it was not a good sign obviously. I'll repackage.

The linker can swallow the link to the dll directly
(if EU::Liblist::Kid would behave correctly),
or we can generate convenience importlibs when used with 
EU::Liblist::Kid. I believe linking directly to the dll is easier.

But another core failure without testcase.
We have to get rid of all the wrong platform quirks for cygwin finally.

EU::Liblist::Kid refuses any linker flags which resemble $thislib.$so.
This is required by the Gtk2-Perl modules to link one against another OOTB.
