Thank you very much.

I think I have found a better solution[1] (using -static), just to 
notice later that Tino Lange already posted the solution in this same 
list months ago[2]. Sorry for the overlook.

I have asked the user that provided lzip-1.18-w32.tar.gz to compile 
1.19-pre1. I expect to release it tomorrow at the same time that the 
source code.

If the plan A (configuring with LDFLAGS=-static) fails, I'll include the 
libraries in the Windows package. Thanks again.


Best regards,
