There are two official NSPR builds for Win32: the "WINNT" configuration
and the "WIN95" configuration.  The "WIN95" configuration is poorly
named.  It should have been named the "WIN32" configuration.

The "WINNT" configuration produces DLLs with the "lib" prefix.  For
historical reasons it is the default build configuration on Win32.

For most applications I recommend the "WIN95" configuration, which is
also what Firefox uses.  Just configure NSPR with the
--enable-win32-target=WIN95
option.
