	Yes, the separate projects answer is definitely preferable to me
since you wouldn't be able to use the current projects for a static lib
anyway.  I'm currently doing things this way in my little testbed app which
I build projects for with premake4.  This just let's me verify dll/static
builds, osx/linux etc without a lot of muckin about, not that I'm trying to
push the premake stuff, it's just useful for quick x-plat test runs.
