I have never tried to compile Mono under mingw and and I don't know whether
it can be compiled under mingw. But I don't want to compile it under mingw
so I don't care.:)

Francisco T. Martinez told me in this thread that he modifies the libtool
file to get rid of 'cyg prefix'. In my previous message (Re:
[Mono-devel-list] [PATCH] cygmono-1.dll and cygMonoPosixHelper.dll) I
described the origin of the problem and proposed a patch to modify
autogen.sh not to use 'cyg' prefix on Cygwin.

So I am sure that 'lib' prefix can be removed on mingw and even on Linux as
well altough it's no use to do so. But it's reasonable to remove 'cyg'
prefix from a DLL that is not Cygwin dependent at all.
