Hi,

I have asked this question before, but I got no answer. If I asked it
the wrong or impolite way: sorry and please forgive me.

What should the file name be of a dll on Windows to let dlltool find it?

According to http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/WIN32.html:

For instance, when ld is called with the argument `-lxxx' it will
attempt to find, in the first directory of its search path, 

        libxxx.dll.a
        xxx.dll.a
        libxxx.a
        xxx.lib
        cygxxx.dll (*)
        libxxx.dll
        xxx.dll

But it appears that libtool insists that is *must* be called libxxx.dll
or otherwise the library is not found. Which is rather annoying because
several other packages do not use the lib prefix.

TIA,
