It should already be built as a DLL by the current Makefiles. However,
as you will probably need to use it in a non-cygwin application, you
should probably compile it with mingw instead of cyggwin. The Makefiles
should also build a brlapi.def file for other compilers to be able to
use the DLL.

Dave, did you manage to build a mingw .zip package, or should I do it?

Exactly.  The basic freedom that LGPL requires is that the user can
replace the library with his own.  DLL is hence the good way.
