Has it been established that the name of the lib that gets specified 
actually matters ?
For my MSVC++ 7.0 compiler it doesn't seem to matter at all.

I can specify the non-existent "rubbish.lib" (at the Makefile.PL stage) when 
building Inline::CPP with that compiler, and it doesn't make any difference 
to the build (or the tests) afaict.

However, there are, of course, MS compilers other than MSVC++ 7.0.
