About linking problems in cygwin (Kayvan?)

[Jean-Marc Lasgouttes]

There have been complaints that lyx 1.3.0 does not link on cygwin, for
example point 4) of
  http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg52961.html

This is related to the patch that has been added at Kayvan's request:

        case "$host" in
          *cygwin)
            FRONTEND_LIBS="@XFORMS_LIB@ @XFORMS_IMAGE_LIB@ @XPM_LIB@"
            ;;
          *)
            FRONTEND_LIBS="@XFORMS_IMAGE_LIB@ @XFORMS_LIB@ @XPM_LIB@"
            ;;
        esac

I would like to remove this special casing, since I do not understand
why it makes sense. Kayvan, do you have arguments for actually keeping
it?
