Summary: building expat-1.95.8 for win32 with mingw 

Initial Comment:
Hi!

I'm compiling expat-1.95.8 for win32 with mingw in an
cygwin-enviroment. During buildprocess i get following
error:

/bin/bash ./libtool --silent --mode=link g++-mingw -g
-O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes
-fexceptions -DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H   -I./lib -I.

I suppose the libtool-script which is generated during
configure is libtool-1.4.x. In this scipt they excluded
some dll-entrypoints for cygwin and mingw. I replaced
this script with the script of libtool-1.5.10 and all
worked fine.


So can you please replace the configure-scipt with an
scipt which is generated with libtool-1.5 or higher.

sincerely
Elmar Rudigier

ps: g++-mingw is is only a scipt which calls g++ whith
the flag -mno-cygwin to exclude cygwin.dll during linking.

Use the newer script to do Make, just get a static lib, there is 
no shared lib.

Using libtool 1.5.10 seems to work on my system (FC1), so 
I'll plan on using that for the next release. 
 
Assigning to me, since the version of libtool that gets 
used seems to be a matter of what's installed on the 
machine used to build the distribution.
