I'm guessing the design intention was that an app wanting FLTK dlls
would /statically/ link to fltkdll.lib (?) which defines WinMain() (?)
but does not include the binaries of the lib itself (?), and /it/ handles
dynamically loading the fltk dll lib at runtime..?
I tried to figure out how fltkdll.lib is generated, but couldn't:
I loaded fltk in VS2010 and looked at the properties for the fltkdll project,
but could not understand how fltkdll.lib gets generated. The creation of the
*dll.dll seemed clear enough, but not the *dll.lib.
I resorted to grepping the ide/visual2010 dir for fltklib.dll, but
only found imports, not output.
I defer to the MS/VS experts on how this is all supposed to work.
Spending too much time in VS makes me rage.
Matt or Mike or Bill: do you guys remember how this is all supposed
to work?
