ok. now i can ask it in a more general way.
do we like to support static libs? (i vote for yes)
if yes wouldn't it be better to create -static and -devel pacakges for
all packages (like in native version) and put those common stuff into
the base packages?
ok i know again another mingw packaging guide changes....
but at least discuss what would be the 'right way tm'...
