** WARNING HACK ATTACK ***

The following command issued from the top level proj directory
should build a DLL from the static libproj.a

gcc -shared -o cygproj.dll \
	-Wl,--out-implib=libproj.dll.a \
	-Wl,--export-all-symbols \
	-Wl,--enable-auto-import \
	-Wl,--whole-archive ./src/.libs/libproj.a \
	-Wl,--no-whole-archive /lib/libcygwin.a
