In configure.ac, before the patch the value of LIBEXT is "so"
and after the patch it is "dll.a". I don't know if it is right or wrong,
but I was
asking why the library extension had changed. I liitle googling tells me
it is 
a convention for import libraries.

        LIBEXT=so
        case $host_os in
            cygwin*|mingw*)
        	LIBEXT=dll.a		<--- this line added by the patch
        	platform_win32=yes
        	;;
            darwin*)
        	LIBEXT=dylib
        	platform_darwin=yes
        	;;
        esac
