[FriBidi] exports dll symbol methods even if compiled static

Hello all.
I noticed that if I cross compile fribdi (for windows) with
--enable-static --disable-shared, then I cross compile libass the same
way, then attempt to use it, I get this:
mingw-w64-i686/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libass.a(ass_shaper.o): In
function `ass_shaper_shape’:
win32/libass-0.10.0/libass/ass_shaper.c:611: undefined reference to
`_imp__fribidi_get_bidi_types’
even though it's linking against -lfribdi in the proper order.
Applying this patch (from the VLC people):

/* FRIBIDI_ENTRY is a macro used to declare library entry points. */
#ifndef FRIBIDI_ENTRY
-# if (defined(WIN32)) || (defined(_WIN32_WCE))
-# define FRIBIDI_ENTRY __declspec(dllimport)
-# else /* !WIN32 */
# define FRIBIDI_ENTRY /* empty */
-# endif /* !WIN32 */
#endif /* !FRIBIDI_ENTRY */
seems to make it "now work"
I suppose...maybe...with static libraries it shouldn't be exported
this way for windows?
Thanks!
