Simply rename the file; `libfoo.a' becomes `foo.lib'.  `libfoo.dll.a'
can similarly be named as `foo.lib'; in this case it would be an
import library for `foo.dll'.

You might like to refer to the archives of the MinGW users list:
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user

where this question is asked, and answered, on a regular basis.  Also,
take note of the advice and cautions given here:
