I have an issue with properly autotooled + libtoolized shared libraries
where the resulting dll should end up in bindir instead of libdir.

Can we cygwin-spezialize that either in automake or libtool?
The --mode=install $(DESTDIR)$(libdir) looks like a job for automake
but only libtool knows about the .dll
in contrast to the .dll.a .la and .a
Maybe libtool --mode=install can outsmart $libdir in the dll case.
Or better automake can check for the dll and install this into bindir.

Typical segment:

install-libLTLIBRARIES: $(lib_LTLIBRARIES)
	@$(NORMAL_INSTALL)
	test -z "$(libdir)" || $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)"
	@list='$(lib_LTLIBRARIES)'; for p in $$list; do \
	  if test -f $$p; then \
	    f=$(am__strip_dir) \
	    echo " $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(libLTLIBRARIES_INSTALL)
$(INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG) '$$p' '$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$f'"; \
	    $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(libLTLIBRARIES_INSTALL)
$(INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG) "$$p" "$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$f"; \
	  else :; fi; \
	done

(I also compiled ntfsprogs out of curiosity, and had the same first
hand experience as robert)
