I've chosen to tackle this as a build time problem rather than a configure
time problem.  I'd rather have this "just work" when libintl and libbfd are
available.

I've tried to make all of the cygwin makefiles do the right thing when they
require a library but I don't want to complicate them further by automatically
building libbfd.a and libintl.a.

So, I added a warning in the Makefile.in when dumper's dependencies are
not available.  Otherwise, it just builds dumper.exe.
