Just a quick note that libz.dll.a isn't a static library, in
the sense meant by the guidelines.

Under Windows, DLLs are split into two parts:  The foo-1.dll
which is the shared library needed at runtime.  But if you
want to link with the shared library, you need a library of
stub routines, called foo.dll.a (for cross-compilation)
or more normally foo.lib if this was a real Windows machine.

We actually remove the real static libraries from all of
the mingw32-* packages.

I'll take a look at the rest in an hour or two.
