Which brings me to another question: How do you figure out which archives are dlls and which ones are libs? The GNU on Win32 project is not perticularly good with naming them. Take libtiff, this is what is in the lib directory:
% ls -l libtiff* ..n32-pike/libs/lib -r--r--r-- 1 peter ftp 321746 Nov 28 2001 libtiff.a -rw-r--r-- 1 peter ftp 13784 Nov 28 2001 libtiff-bcc.def -rw-r--r-- 1 peter ftp 32256 Nov 28 2001 libtiff-bcc.lib -rw-r--r-- 1 peter ftp 5678 Nov 28 2001 libtiff.def -rw-r--r-- 1 peter ftp 112730 Nov 28 2001 libtiff.dll.a -rw-r--r-- 1 peter ftp 35754 Nov 28 2001 libtiff.lib

Yep, which means I'm going to break them with lots and lots of 3rd party libs. :)
