I think because it's able to create .so in cygwin, which is what it
creates. I guess we need the AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL macro in configure.in,
as they do for the gnome2 on windows patches
(http://web.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~s01397ms/cygwin/. The ORBit patch includes
that macro, if you want to see an example).
