| There are three kinds of target files that may be built: archive, |
| library, and runtime. Executables are always treated as runtime |
| targets. Static libraries are always treated as archive targets. |
| Module libraries are always treated as library targets. For |
| non-DLL platforms shared libraries are treated as library |
| targets. For DLL platforms the DLL part of a shared library is |
| treated as a runtime target and the corresponding import library |
| is treated as an archive target. All Windows-based systems |
| including Cygwin are DLL platforms. |
