Hi,
 
I started to build on Windows (MSYS/MinGW) latest releases of GRASS required 
libraries (zlib, libpng, and so on...) and I thought everything was going 
well... but (occasionally) browsing /usr/lib dir I found NO dlls of what I 
built, only .a and .la libraries, while I found dlls in /usr/bin... I assumed 
that was due to libtool (what a °*_°!!), on how it creates and links libraries; 
because I don't know so much about this matter, I then preferred to go on the 
safe way and use Paul's prebuilt libs; the same is for GDAL (so, I must use 
1.4.1 againt latest 1.5.0); ...but, at the same time I'm building expat, gsl 
and geos using libtool!!! what a mess!!
 
If you tell me that I can trust the way libtool manages libraries and linking 
(I use latest MinGW release), I could restart all (how much time spent...!) and 
rebuild using latest libraries (for png, proj, gdal... and so on... and trying 
to add also tiff and jpeg support, and, probably, ffmpeg).
 
Thanks
 
Marco
