Cygwin .a files should work the same as 32-bit Windows .lib files. If you
are using a 64-bit Windows, you would need to extract the .o files from a
cygwin .a file (not a Unix or linux .a file) and use lib to build a 64-bit
library. I'm not certain it makes sense to use VC++; why not use g++
? If your code is so non-standard that g++ won't take it, you may have
other problems.
