Not quite true.  G77-built static libblas.a is (or used to be anyway)
compatible with other W32 compilers, including MS.   Ditto liblapack.a,
if supply GCC version of chkstk.o.  I suspect other simple C and F
libraries that do not depend heavily on static libgcc.a are also
compatabile.  Oh yeah -- another condition-- need to use same dynamic
CRT heap (msvcrt.dll, not msvcrtd.dll, not libc.lib, etc) when building
client code.
