It can go there. But if it's put there, then fixups will be performed
on x1.dll's refeneces to data in x2.dll only. As far as i understand,
if we put fixup code to cygwin_dll.h, then we must also add it to
startup code for app.exe.

It's my understanding that dll_crt0_1 is the piece of code that's activated
at binary startup if the binary is linked with libcygwin.a; and it
doesn't matter if binary is executable or dll. But obviously, i may be
wrong here, please correct me if so.
