I have no clue how to do any more than I've already done, so feel free to
take over and do what supposed to be done.

Note:, I did not use any part of the dx pack from
http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/index.html.

I just Downloaded the MSDX9SDK, used reimp on all the libs, which did it's
stuff and renamed the libs with a .a extension.  I then renamed all the
libs that didn't need to be converted by reimp to have an extension of .a.
 Then I renamed all the obj files the reimp created from the libs, to have
a .o extension.  I used the ms header files and didn't modify them at all
except for dxfile.h, which had an illegal character and the end that I
removed.

Then I just zipped everything up.

So I cannot be of too much help.
