Because the app I want to build in the end is going to be built with
mingw and that one doesn't understand msvc static libs.

Hmm, I feared that :( I guess I rather convert it to CMake as
buildsystem, then one can use either mingw, gcc, msvc and some other
compilers to build it. Same with zlib, that buildsystem is also pretty
scary.

PS: Yes, that application could also be built using msvc, but I don't
want to do that. Thats already done by other devs working on the
project.
