Yes.  I believe both static and dynamic libraries are built.

That's good to know.
:)

Patrick, I assume you want to write some sort of LLVM pass that uses 
DSA.  To get this to work on Cygwin/MingW, what you want to do is to 
write a tool that statically links in DSA and your pass(es).  You can 
take the source code to the pa tool (poolalloc/tools/Pa) and modify it 
accordingly.

I think this method is preferable over Anton's suggestion of linking DSA 
directly into opt because it prevents you from having a modified version 
of the LLVM tools to maintain.
