I'll be fighting with Classpath on Cygwin this monday. So far the
problem I saw was that cygwin by default compiles static versions while
I need shared libs to be able to use them with SableVM.

These macros look outdated though. I think you can safely remove them.

I didn't need them to compile SableVM under cygwin. I only added
AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL (which - according to the discussions I found
- shouldn't be needed either) and "-no-undefined" for libtool.

Once we have SableVM (and Classpath) Cygwin port finished - it should be
easy to find out (=diff) what's actually needed to make it work
smoothly...

Feel free to remind me around january if I forgot.

Cheers,
