I did the change for cygwin.
I'm sorry. I should have written not only changes themselves but also
the reason in the commit-message and ChangeLog.

On win32 platform, an application (or a DLL) which uses DLL foo
directly (not via other DLL) must be linked with -lfoo, whether
dependency DLL is linked with -lfoo or not. So although libgnome
is linked with -lpopt, libbonoboui also need to be linked with -lpopt.

After that commit, I realized that -lpopt should be written in
libgnome.pc not in libbonoboui_2_la_LIBADD.
So I think it's better not to change gnome-2-2 branch.
