I don't think so. Look at src/Makefile.am, specifically
"platform_ldflags" for "TOOLKIT_WIN". The flags
"-Wl,--out-implib,abiword.dll.a" are supposed to create an import
library that the plugins can link against. IIRC win32 whiz Jordi came
up with this solution to avoid building a dll just to link plugins
against.

Could you verify that the import library is built and also try the
patching the -L linker path to use backslashes, as mentioned in my
previous email?
