Summary: expat*.lib missing for Win32 linking

Initial Comment:
I downloaded expat_win32bin_1_95_1.zip.  Unzipping I 
found, among other files, expat_1_95_1.dll and expat.h.  
However, there was no expat_1_95_1.lib file to enable 
static linkage to expat_1_95_1.dll.

In the end, I created a expat_1_95_1.def file by 
extracting dependency information, and ran LIB to 
create the .lib file.  Not rocket science, but took 30 
minutes till I figured it out.

I'd like to contribute the .def and .lib file to the project.  
How can I do so?

I'd like to see the .DEF file, actually, as we plan to move
away from __declspec(dllexport) to a .DEF file for exports.

The lack of the .LIB file has been addressed in Expat 1.95.2
and 1.95.3 (so I'm closing this bug report).  I'd recommend
using 1.95.2 instead of 1.95.1, at least until 1.95.4 is
out, hopefully later this week.

If you can send the .DEF file to me by email, I'd appreciate
it.  You can send it to fdrake at acm.org.

Thanks!
