it would be really nice if this was possible.

Isn't there some "binutil" which can tell what kind of library some .lib is ? Or maybe every dll (and that way the accompanying lib) has some functions which only dlls have ? Or maybe they references some special functions which maybe could be checked with something like nm ?
