I think I got that, um, "feature" for free when I converted to cygport 
for that package.  Someone is passing --disable-static to the configure 
script, and it isn't me.

I've fixed this with CYGCONF_ARGS="--enable-static"  The static library 
does now appear in the -devel package.

The .a is about 3x the size of the .dll.  Is that normal, or am I 
supposed to be stripping the .a before packaging it?

Does someone actually want this static library?  I'm going to RFU it 
anyway, since I've gone to the trouble of fixing it, but I was curious 
if it actually mattered to someone.
