Not enough. I checked this once more and the dllimport was missing. When I
jimmy around the definition of UTL_EXPORT, I can make this problem
disappear. When UTL_EXPORT is empty I get this error. When it's defined as
__declspec(dllimport), utils-test links fine.

When I'm linking against a shared lib, this works. If I'm linking against a
static lib, UTL_EXPORT needs to be empty or I get errors like this:
unresolved external symbol __imp__optopt
There's another thread about how to define UTL_EXPORT properly so I'll
respond there about how to handle this. It feels like I want a compiler
flag to depend on the kind of library found at link time...problematic.
Thanks for your help.
