I'm pretty sure some definition of prebuilt target uses file extension of 
".a" ;-)

Like:

lib libmpi
: # sources
#mpiheaders
: # requirements
<file>/usr/lib/libz.a
#<parallelism>none

On NT, .a is not an extension known to V2.

Could you quickly verify if that's really the case, while I'm figuring out how 
to emit more reasonable warning.
