Sure, no problem.  The OpenTTD patch wasn't very generic, so I needed to
change a few things.  First off, the OpenTTD patch is made to strictly
create a static library, we needed a shared one.  Most of the changes I made
were to make the patch more generic (setting LIBPREFIX=lib, etc).  As the
the lib/dll thing, the way I understand it, the .lib file type is used for
static libraries on Windows (same as .a on UNIX).

Does that explain it?
