No, its not a good idea IMHO if we want to support mingw.org and 64-bit 
mingw-w64 in parallel. They all have the same dll names. This brings us 
to the next issue...

I made a libtool patch to fixup the dll names sometime ago, but the 
maintainers were not very happy with creating another new prefix.

For now, the best way is to build the program in Cygwin, start a cmd 
prompt with the correct sys-root added to PATH, and run the program from 
there.
