DDD fails with missing "libICE.dll"

I don't know whether this is a DDD issue, or some sort of Cygwin-XFree
issue, but I'm inclined to think it's the latter.

I'm using Cygwin 1.3.2.  I installed the latest Cygwin-XFree binary.  I
downloaded, built, and installed the latest LessTif.  I downloaded, built,
and installed the latest DDD.

When I run DDD, I get an error dialog saying it was unable to find
"libICE.dll".

Looking at the DDD build output, I see it was linking with "-lICE", and I
assume it got the "libICE.a" in "/usr/X11R6/lib".

When I do an "objdump -p ddd/ddd.exe", it gives me the following (among
other output):

	DLL Name: libICE.dll
	vma:  Hint/Ord Member-Name
	48fe48	    9  IceConnectionNumber
	48fe60	   30  IceProcessMessages
	The Import Address Table is identical

I verified that "IceConnectionNumber" and "IceProcessMessages" were symbols
in the archive file.

I did do a mailing list search for this, but I didn't find anything.
