Anything linked against the Perl DLL must be rebuilt. For the rest of
the packages the dependencies should be updated and doing a rebuild has
the highest chance of getting it right (at least if cygport gets used).
Plus, if the tests are run during the rebuild it will become apparent if
the scripts are portable enough.

Achim.
