I agree getting the messages from the AvailabilityTests is useful, I will think about the best way to do that (without having to go change all the packages, as that...

We could probably find a spare bit in instructions, but the problem would be figuring out how to set it -- we don't currently really have a way of walking...

I should add, I won't have time to work on this in the near future, but if anyone else wants to, I can quickly explain the code you would want...

I would prefer to drop it -- we already have to do weird things on windows (copy DLLs built by packages into the .libs directory) to work around libtool issues...

Just for reference, here is the weird code from semigroups's Makefile.am: ``` all-local: semigroups.la $(mkdir_p) $(top_srcdir)/$(BINARCHDIR) if SYS_IS_CYGWIN cp .libs/semigroups.dll $(GAPINSTALLLIB) if WITH_INCLUDED_LIBSEMIGROUPS # Cygwin will only look in this...
