I'm trying to port big banking application from Solaris to NT 
using gnu-win32 tools. My application will use Ingres and Tuxedo 
libraries (*.lib). The libraries are very big, and i don't want to find 
which dll contains particular call. Moreover, the libraries could contain
*.obj files for static linking.

I have two question about 

1) Will Cygnus provide support for linking *.lib libraries in the near future?
   I think it's badly required for serious applications.

2) Is there correct and fast method to transform *.lib libraries to *.a libraries
