When I build Liblouis with mingw, it effectively creates a dll called

Ah. So this isn't Cygwin specific.
I just renamed this dll in liblouis.dll and used it with NVDA and it
works fine.
This is what I do. However, this will cause it not to work with the
liblouis tools; lou_checktable, etc.
I just don't know why it names it liblouis-1.
In Unix, the version number is included in the library name; e.g.
liblouis.so.1. I suspect mingw (or probably autotools) is trying to
simulate this for Windows. I wonder if there is a way to disable it.
Alternatively, I guess we could change the Python bindings to use
liblouis-1.dll.
Inicidentally, the size of the produiced dll is much bigger than the one
we originally had in NVDA.
Simply apply strip against it, to get it to n eqivalent size.
Thanks - I forgot to mention this in my instructions.
