Sure I can use the .lib they shipped.  Dont even have to rename it.  Just
that Redmond is not someone I trust, and I dont want to get bit by some
hidden MS "feature" in their library rendition down the line.  SO would love
to be able to build a .lib myself.  ALso what if they dont ship the VC++
.lib next time.  I would be SOL.
