cygcheck follows the normal Windows conventions for locating a DLL since
this reflects how a program finds "statically loaded" DLLs. dlopen
follows the normal UNIX conventions for locating a shared library,
*except* that I just noticed that it is not searching /usr/lib by
default. It should be.
Otherwise this is all working as designed, AFAICT.
