PHP 4.0 Bug #6771: Import LIB files needed in Win32 distribution

From: lillge@accesscom.com Operating system: Win32 PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Import LIB files needed in Win32 distribution In the php-4.0.x-Win32 distribution, please include the import LIB files that correspond to the DLLs. I simply want to build a new extension DLL. Currently, I must build all of PHP just so that I can get the import LIB files that I need to link my extension DLL. (FYI: Building on Win32 can be very difficult. For example, right now bison is crashing and I'm stuck. I'm going through all this headache just to get access to those missing LIB files.) Actually, my request is more general: Please make sure that everything is included so that it's possible to build a new extension DLL on Win32 without having to rebuild PHP. (I think the import LIB files are all I need, but I'm not completely sure.)
