While it is true that MSVC creates a .lib file when you create
a .dll, this .lib file is an import library. I am out on a limb
here, but I assumed that old_archive_from_new_cmds was supposed
to create a static lib, not an import lib. So I changed the
comment and commented out the code. Is my assumption correct?
Should I zap the thing completely to avoid future confusion?

Cheers,
Peter
