Why? Because Cygwin is Windows after all... :,)
DLLs, unlike shared libraries under Unix, need all symbols resolved at
link as opposed to load time. AFAICT, this is why constructs like
BE_DLLLIBS are part of PostgreSQL's makefiles.

I don't know. Are their other platforms with "shared" libraries that
have the same link time requirement as Windows?
