RE: Patch OpenLDAP 1.1.3-release to Cygwin b20 (ITS#61)

[hughw@scoutsys.com]

Thanks Kurt. You can probably tell I was fudging my way through unfamiliar
territory in the config stuff, and I'm glad you've taken the trouble to
clean up and make it look like the rest of the code.

I agree with your mkdep decision; the -M file name thing is problem the
compiler boys have been aware of but still not fixed. The problem with the
sed solution is (1) Somebody might actually have file names with escaped
characters or backslashes, and (2) well, I couldn't get my sed script to
work properly. So for the time being Cygwin users might need to create their
own mkdep, a note in the INSTALL might alert them to this, whenever we know
what the right answer is.

Good decision on EXEEXT and OBJEXT.

Thanks for making this extra effort to fix up my changes! Please keep me
posted as you progress, I'll rebuild it here, and ultimately post to the
cygwin list when ready.
