To the libxml2 maintainer: See also
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-05/msg00888.html The libxml2-devel packages contains an import library (libxml2.dll.a),but no static archive (libxml2.a). Most other packages do, e.g. libpng12-devel. What is the reason for this?
I would like to suggest to add a static archive to allow building statically linked binaries and for consistency with other devel packages. Kind regards, Teun
