Hm. I failed to find the "contemporary discussion" after a bit of
looking, but surely there's a way to get Cygwin's make to handle file
names with colons in them? Or if not, maybe we should try to strip out
any drive letter appearing in the DLL spec? I do not really believe the
argument that we don't need a dependency there.
