I just want to remind everyone that using --enable-fully-dynamic-string
will incur a somewhat significant performance hit, and it's the reason
this hasn't been set as the default for Cygwin.  In the PR there is a
patch that is reported to fix the problem without the full performance
hit, so that would be preferable to use rather than the 20-ton hammer.
