Well, in fact I keep a copy called liblouis-1.dll for liblouis tools
(lou_translate eetc) and another renamed for NVDA use.

Ah. So this isn't Cygwin specific.

This is what I do. However, this will cause it not to work with the
liblouis tools; lou_checktable, etc.

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.

Thanks - I forgot to mention this in my instructions.
