Patch #553702: Cygwin make install patch
This patch fixes make install for Cygwin. Specifically,
it reverts to the previous behavior:
o install libpython$(VERSION)$(SO) in $(BINDIR)
o install $(LDLIBRARY) in $(LIBPL)
It also begins to remove Cygwin's dependency on
$(DLLLIBRARY) which I hope to take advantage of
when I attempt to make Cygwin as similar as possible
to the other Unix platforms (in other patches).
I tested this patch under Red Hat Linux 7.1 without
any ill effects.
BTW, I'm not the happiest using the following
test for Cygwin:
test "$(SO)" = .dll
I'm willing to update the patch to use:
case "$(MACHDEP)" in cygwin*
instead, but IMO that will look uglier.
