-The hand-written makefile.mingw(.in) files, and the stuff in the

-If you want to run the Cygwin-based gcc, it gets a bit more
-complicated. We still want gcc to produce code that does not use
-Cygwin, but the msvcrt runtime. In theory it should work to use the
--no-cygwin flag, but I haven't tested that lately.
+The hand-written makefile.{mingw,msc} files, and the stuff in the
+"build" subdirectory, has been updated to produce DLLs and import
+libraries that match what Makefile.am and libtool produces. For GLib,
+the DLL is called libglib-1.3-10.dll (at GLib 1.3.10), and the import
+libraries libglib-1.3.a and glib-1.3.lib. Note that the "1.3" is part
+of the "basename" of the library, it is not something that libtool
+would tuck on. The -10 suffix is the value of "LT_CURRENT -
+LT_AGE". The 10 is *not* the micro version number of GLib, although,
+for GLib 1.3.10, it happens to be the same. For the gory details, see
+configure.in and libtool documentation.
