The flag is required to convince libtool on Cygwin to build DLLs. But on
Windows these shared libraries can not have undefined symbols, so we have to
link them explicitly to the libraries they reference.
For plugins this is currently not done, so only the monolithic build is
supported. The plugin loader wouldn't be able to load DLLs anyway, as
it tries to load files that don't exist on Cygwin.
INCLUDES are now deprecated and throw warnings when using automake 1.13.
We now also differentiate AM_CPPFLAGS and AM_CFLAGS, where includes and
defines are passed to AM_CPPFLAGS only.
