We need to change flint in two ways: 1) Instead of disabling shared library on flint, set it up so that either static or shared can be selected, but not both. It should make its selection based on whether a shared/static library of mpir is available if the user hasn't selected.
2) Don't pass -fPIC anywhere when building a shared library on Cygwin or MinGW (obviously it is still needed elsewhere). Bill.
