cygwin.rules - Enabling shared libXt finally?

[Harold L Hunt II]

Ralf,

Not sure I understand.  What should be changed in the current version of 
the Xt code?

Attached are my curent xc/lib/Xt/[Initialize.c|IntrinsicP.h] files. 
Please send a diff against these if anything should be changed.  Note 
that these are intentionally from the 4.3 branch.

Thanks,

Harold
