Building XFCE on Cygwin

[Brian J. Tarricone]

i spent some time trying to build xfce4 cvs under cygwin.  i got most of 
the base pacakges built, but i can't get any .dlls to build.  i tried 
adding -no-undefined, but that just spewed out a list of unresolved 
symbols.  so then i explicitly linked in the libraries that provide 
them, but i get a libtool warning about not having shared libs of 
libxfcegui4, etc.  i'll have to mess with this some more later.  this 
probably means adding -no-undefined to everything, and making sure 
everyone links to the proper libs.

on the downside, i'm not sure how some things are going to work - for 
example, most panel plugins reference some symbols contained in the 
panel binary itself, and you can't actually link to that...
