Yes, but they still all have the same name - so the problem is still there
- you had better link to the right one or else, and you can't install them
in a central "lib" directory.  At least with vc6 you will usually get
linker errors if you try to link to an incompatible static lib, but with
other compilers that is not the case (Borland for example).
