Use cygwin "gcc -aux-info xyzzy ... -c plugin_api_list.c" to create

We could do that...

...but not as part of the build procedure, as:

	1) people might be using older versions of GCC that don't
	   support "-aux-info";

	2) people might not be using GCC at all.

I.e., that'd have to be done manually whenever the plugin interface is
updated.

OK, I will make that part a separate makefile target.
Expect a patch in the next few days.
