Simply by building the libraries with --disable-shared, and (in case of 
libidn which doesn't care about user wishes) moving the dll (and .dll.a) 
aside. The build automatically picks up the static libraries.

I had to patch some source files (some #include and using std:: 
statements, as usual - cleaned up patch will appear soon), but the build 
system was unchanged.

shared place? unversioned shared libraries? Doesn't sound like a good 
idea to me.

Probably. In that case, I can't do it, as with shared libs, it doesn't 
build right (thanks to some mangling related to imported symbols)
