[CoinBinary] Missing library, building example under MinGW

[acw at ascent.com]

It will take us a while to go through all these hints and recommendations, 
but thank you very much: this looks quite promising.  In particular, I 
think using the SjLj-based MinGW compiler (if we can make it work) will 
get us a long way.  Everybody is being very helpful and we are grateful.

A couple of notes.

Regarding pkg-config: where Kipp assures us that the ApplicationTemplate 
examples "support" pkg-config, an apter word would be "require".  Since 
MinGW does not come with pkg-config, getting these projects to work under 
MinGW is an extra challenge.  There seem to be two choices: use a MinGW 
port of pkg-config, or use some of the tools Ted describes to deduce what 
the library list should be and substitute it into the makefile by hand.  I 
would be thrilled to hear from anyone who has done either of these things; 
in any case we can suggest some text for the wiki once we manage to get 
this working.

Regarding building from source: this is basically where we came in.  We 
started on the assumption that we would have to build from source, but we 
hit a wall while trying to do this -- I don't remember the exact failure 
mode, but I sent email about it to some COIN list, and was advised that it 
would be easier to build against the CoinBinary libraries!  So we have 
already changed horses once in the middle of this river, and before we 
jump back, we want to understand the issues better than we do now.

Thanks again for all your assistance.
