[PD] w32 Deken package issues.

[Lucas Cordiviola]

Hi Lucas, why don't you recompile the externals with static libraries?
Hi Patrice ,
I've never compiled anything and also I don't write C code.
What does static libraries means? It is adding the system.dll to the object.dll?
If that was the case anyway we have to detect which dll needs that.
Or are you saying that *you* can recompile all w32 deken packages?
Let me know.
