Thanks! This is what I finally, and successfully, did. I updated the test
case accordingly.

However, I would like to use the Cygwin 'default' compiler, because this
one is used more often as the 'MinGW' one and especially because I had to
do some tweaks. I had to install the 'libcgj11' package (not a big deal),
but also :
	- to copy '/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll' in
'/bin'
	- in '/bin', to make a copy of 'cyggcj-11.dll' and name it 'libgcj-11.dll'.

Quite awful, isnt't it ? But without that, I didn't manage to make my
component to be loaded.
