LNK4099 is described at  
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b7whw3f3.aspx. It's bad because it  
means the object is linked as if there is no debug information. To make  
this warning go away, the PDB files would have to be in the linker's  
search path, but I don't know how to tell the linker that information.
