Comment (by stefan):

 Building a !CoinUtils DLL with a static GLPK library (libcoinglpk.lib) is
 not possible:
 {{{
 *** Warning: This system cannot link to static lib archive /home/stefan
 /build-msvc/lib/libcoinglpk.la.
 *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
 *** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
 *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.
 }}}

 So doing static lib only for third-party code will not work. Building a
 shared lib for Glpk could work if not setting the win32-dll flag of
 LT_INIT, since that is only C code. But it essentially means that using
 Glpk's configure will not work here, too.
