I *know* that it can be done, since our current hand-written .vcproj files
do it.
Ok, so MSVC can do it, but AR can't. So I guess you only care about MSVC.

foo.obj and bar.obj uses symbols in mydll.dll, and I want to allow users of
mystatic.lib to just have to link with mystaticlib.lib, and not with
mydll.lib.
But why don't you just ship your users a dynamic lib? As far as I
know, there are no restrictions on dynamic libs including static libs.
I wonder if you can yank out the object files of an arbitrary static
lib and stick them in your own static lib. I didn't try that approach
because I have control of all my libs, I'm not using any 3rd party
libs.
