I'm surprised, because your configure output:

> checking JMODSUFFIX from libtool... .so

suggests that the generated dso should be called libxmlj-0.99.so

Clearly this is still wrong for Cygwin, it should be xmlj-0.99.dll, I
suppose? However, we haven't yet provided any support for Cygwin builds.

If you could provide a patch for Cygwin, it would be much appreciated.
