Summary: Check the version of fluidsynth in configure script

Initial Comment:
I opened a bug because compiling whith fluidsynth in cygwin environment and linking dsound library was hanging scummvm.

I was told that it was for compiling whith fluidsynth 1.0.8 in static way. Also, I was informed that cygwin's support was dropped.

The problem is that I was unable to compile fluidsynth so I was using the precompiled win32 built of 1.0.0 (newers were complaining about missing defines). Now I was able to compile 1.0.8 and everything is working now fine. So, I guess that the version should be checked.

The version is defined in fluidsynth/version.h whith a line #define FLUIDSYNTH_VERSION       "1.0.8"

BTW, how the hell have you manage to compile the library as a static library? I have compiled but if I disable shared or link it statically it complains about missing implementations of functions...

Also, I'm migrating to MSYS/mingw environment. But msys is having troubles whith heap in Windows and ususally hangs everywhere. I have tried rebasing the dll, updating it... any ideas?

Thanks
