[libvirt] [PATCH] build: port vbox to cygwin

I have no idea if a Cygwin app can be made to directly interact with
VBoxXPCOMC.dll, but this at least lets compilation of vbox finish
rather than requiring me to ./configure --without-vbox.

* src/vbox/vbox_XPCOMCGlue.c (DYNLIB_NAME): Assume .dll under cygwin.

Although I'm tempted to push this under the build-breaker rule, and
although I suspect no one else is trying to build libvirt on cygwin,
I'll wait for a review on this one.  An alternative, more conservative,
patch might be to hack configure.ac to declare vbox and cygwin as
incompatible.
