[BioLib-dev] installation on cygwin

[Mark A. Jensen]

Hey Pjotr--
I found this which got me quite a long ways --

this is key:

>install(TARGETS mylib LIBRARY DESTINATION lib${LIB_SUFFIX}

>                     RUNTIME DESTINATION bin )

Not quite sure of the source of the original source of this tip (it was quoted 
where I found it), but doing

install ( TARGETS mylib
            LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
            RUNTIME DESTINATION bin )

in all the relevant CMakeLists.txt puts .dlls in the right place--
cheers- MAJ
