Cygwin has been building and linking against static libraries. Although a bug this has been relatively harmless until now, when this has caused errors due to changes in the way we build certain libraries. So this patch makes things work the way we always intended, namely that we would link against the dynamic libraries (cygpq.dll etc.) and just not build the static libraries. The downstream packagers have been doing this for some time, so this just aligns with their practice. Extracted from a patch by Marco Atzeri, with a suggestion from Tom Lane.
