If *.dll.a is still needed in library_names in the .la file, I guess there is no choice. Seems icky though.
It's because library_names is used for multiple purposes by the libtool machinery and by libltdl. One is the names that can be linked against (.a, .dll.a, and .dll), while the other is the names that can be dlopen/LoadLibrary'ed (.a, .dll).
On (all?) other platforms, those two sets are identical; on cygwin/windows, they are not.
