On Cygwin, a shared library target generates a versioned DLL file like
`cyg${OUTPUT_NAME}-${VERSION}.dll` and an import library
`lib${OUTPUT_NAME}.dll.a`, but it does *not* generate the expected unversioned
symlink `cyg${OUTPUT_NAME}.dll` as is typical on other Unix-like platforms.
However, `dlopen()` calls typically use the unversioned form (e.g.
`cygclang.dll`), and this is consistent with usage on other platforms. In
particular, `clang-python` relies on this behavior. Although the Cygwin runtime
can resolve other forms like `libclang.so` or `libclang.dll`, a symlink alone
won't suffice here, as `dlopen()` ultimately calls `LoadLibraryExW`, which does
not follow Cygwin-style symlinks.
Therefore, this patch installs an unversioned copy of the DLL without the
version suffix to improve compatibility with `dlopen()` and tools like
`clang-python`.

Subject: [PATCH] [libclang][Cygwin] Put unversioned DLL file aside of
versioned DLL file
On Cygwin, a shared library target generates a versioned DLL file like
"cyg${OUTPUT_NAME}-${VERSION}.dll" and an import library
"lib${OUTPUT_NAME}.dll.a", but it does *not* generate the expected
unversioned symlink "cyg${OUTPUT_NAME}.dll" as is typical on other Unix-like
platforms.
However, `dlopen()` calls typically use the unversioned form (e.g.
"cygclang.dll"),
and this is consistent with usage on other platforms. In particular,
`clang-python`
relies on this behavior. Although the Cygwin runtime can resolve other forms
like
"libclang.so" or "libclang.dll", a symlink alone won't suffice here, as
`dlopen()`
ultimately calls `LoadLibraryExW`, which does not follow Cygwin-style symlinks.
Therefore, this patch installs an unversioned copy of the DLL without the
version
suffix to improve compatibility with `dlopen()` and tools like `clang-python`.
