If the intention is that external extension types should be able to
build using the default installation you must also include the
src/Makefile.global and the src/Makefile.shlib. Cygwin ports are
dependent on the presence of src/utils/dllinit.c also (perhaps true for
win32 too). A dllinit.o would be sufficient of course.
