Xerces C++ support in cygwin

[Abraham Backus]

Awesome!  I'm kinda new about what's expected of cygwin software with regard
to what files are needed where.  I discovered though that after everything
is built, if I put libxerces.dll into /usr/local/bin and then put a symlink
to it in /usr/local/lib that everything builds ok.  That seems odd and it
"worked" for my one test app that I've been working on, but it just didn't
seem right because any other dll that my apps link to seemed to have a
.dll.a file in the lib directory.

Thanks again!
