Summary: Cygwin install fails

Initial Comment:
Building expat within Cygwin succeeds now, but 'make install' fails.

$ gmake install
/bin/sh ./conftools/mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib /usr/local/inclu
de
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c xmlwf/xmlwf /usr/local/bin/
xmlwf
libtool: install: warning: `lib/libexpat.la' has not been installed in `/usr/loc
al/lib'
/usr/bin/install -c xmlwf/.libs/xmlwf /usr/local/bin/xmlwf
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c lib/libexpat.la /usr/local/
lib/libexpat.la
/usr/bin/install -c lib/.libs/libexpat.dll.a /usr/local/lib/libexpat.dll.a
dlpath=`bash 2>&1 -c '. lib/.libs/lib/libexpat.lai;echo $dlname'`
 dldir=/usr/local/lib/`dirname $dlpath`
dirname: too many arguments
Try `dirname --help' for more information.

That definitely looks like a bug in libtool, rather than in
our code. Looking at the text, it seems that it is libtool
being invoked and, in turn, invoking 'dirname'. I'm guessing
that the directory name has a space in it, and dirname ends
up with two arguments. That line in libtool should probably
read `dirname "$dlpath"`

Closing as "works for me", based on Gerrit's comments about
updating libtool.

I saw this too.  Probably a bug in libtool?

Though it works ok. with 1.95.2 after updating the libtool and 
other parts.
