However, telling people we use cyg instead of lib for $reason, and then not pointing to at least one project using this prefix seems puzzeling. Given that Windows doesn't use a prefix at all, the URL to mingw-w64 might help, doesn't it? > Also, reading the whole page, the section "Linking against DLLs" needs > updating since GNU ld has had the ability to link directly against DLLs > (automatically generating the necessary import stubs) for a number of years.

Yeah, we should remove them or move them to mingw-w64, too. Thanks, Corinna
