dll v so?

[Siegfried Heintze]

I'm confused about dll v. so and cygwin. I've used the documentation to
create and load dlls with g++.

However, I notice that Apache Httpd uses ".so" files. Is the choice to
produce ".dll" or ".so" files purely a matter of who is going to load them?

Thanks,
Siegfried
