Also, are you sure that linking a static lib into a dynamic one is OK?

I think that, on most UN*Xes, at least, building a dynamic library is similar to building an executable image - object files are linked in, and object files in archive libraries are linked in if there's a reference to something in that object file either from an object file linked in earlier or an object file from that library that's being linked in - so I would expect that to work on most if not all UN*Xes.

I don't know whether the same is true on Windows.
