You have already stated
- libcygimagehlp (for cygwin applications like rebase)
Do you mean
- libmingwimagehlp
for setup.exe ?
What about the header ? It could be the same in both variants. Symbolic linking
?
cygimagehlp.h
mingwimagehlp.h -> cygimagehlp.h
I think that's bad. The bfd library is named libbfd.xx on every platform, so
this library should be named in another way.
What about imagehelper.a and imagehelper.h and using autoconf stuff ?
