.lib files cannot be converted directly to .a files because of
differences in compiler architecture, but there is a tool that
will help. It's called DJGPP.

1. Get the source code to your library.
2. Port it to DJGPP.
3. Test and debug until well-done.
4. Use 'ar' to archive all your objects (.o) into a library (.a).
