Re: cygport debuginfo extraction

I'm re-packaging the perl module DBI::Dumper as a Cygwin package for internal
distribution and the debuginfo package is not produced.  This is because
/usr/src/debug stays empty, while the .dll.dbg file is produced.  I can't figure
out what's keeping the source information from being extracted, there are
literally dozens of other perl module packages where this works correctly.

The C extension included in DBI::Dumper is precompiled by Inline::C rather than the usual MakeMaker-controlled XS->C->dll dance, so the usual means of getting debuginfo (via the OPTIMIZE Makefile variable) doesn't work. AFAICS the solution would have to be package-specific (although I'm not sure exactly how yet). I wouldn't spend too much time trying to figure this one out though.


BTW, in the future (and this goes for everyone), if you have a question about cygport, it would be helpful if you attach the .cygport in question, even if it's not perfect, so I don't have to recreate it myself.
