Well, I don't trust that my Hotmail account sends just ASCII, so I made the 
patch available via a link.


>Why do you want to install the shared libs in $(bindir)?
It's the Cygwin way, DLLs are together with EXEs in the same directory, and 
import libraries for DLLs  are in $(libdir).

>Why do you use EXTRALIBS instead of SHFLAGS in vhook/Makefile?
In Cygwin the order of libraries is important, the linker wants the 
libraries you depend on at the rightmost position in the command line.

By this second patch the vhooks size tops at about 200KB, if I use 
--enable-static, then vhooks increase to about 3MB.
