Re: BUG #1319: Windows LIB file libecpg.lib not in build or package

AFAIK, we don't support ecpg with MSVC, only with MingW. Meaning it
hasn't been verified to work. But it should be Ok to generate LIB files
from the DLL and use those - just not tested. I don't see why it
shouldn't work...

If it does work we should consider adding MSVC import libraries in the
MSI build. Dave - we do this for some other package already, don't we?
