Not sure if this is wanted, and it obviously has some knock on effects on
package and snapshot generation.

But, cygport names detached debug info files by appending the .dbg suffix.
This is 'obviously correct' as it means that both a foo.exe and foo.dll can
exist and have detached debug info.

For consistency, the attached patch changes the name of the detached debug
info file for cygwin1.dll from cygwin1.dbg to cygwin1.dll.dbg

As far as releases go, this is ok.  I'll just have to tweak the next
cygport file slightly.

Chris might have to tweak the snapshot generation script as well, so
he probably wants to chime in, too.

It's more than just a tweak.  I've known that there is a discrepancy for
a long time but haven't considered it that big a deal.  I'd prefer that
this change not be made.

Fair enough.  Patch withdrawn.
