What specific file is being checked?

I did move just *one* file to s different location in the Windows binary
archive and that is libhamlib-4.lib which is now placed in the
lib/gcc-mingw directory of the archive.  This change was made on
recommendation of the MinGW project where their dlltool only creates a
.lib file suitable for use by MinGW's gcc.  Placing it in the msvc
directory was misleading to MSVC developers.  Now instructions have been
added to (hopefully) allow such developers to create their own .lib file
for use with MSVC/VS.

Looking at:

https://sourceforge.net/p/wsjt/wsjtx/ci/master/tree/CMake/Modules/FindHamlib.cmake

I don't see what CMake is looking for that has changed in the archive.
It would be helpful to know exactly what file is being searched for as
the only one I see there is rig.h and it is in the same place.
