Turns out (with a little mental prodding from brc@fourlittlemice.com) 
that the library was back on the installation disk, in plain sight, no 
CAB files involved (surprise, surprise). I dropped the library into the 
DevStudio tree and volia! it linked like a charm.

My next problem is that while I was building Perl's XML::Parser, the 
test kept failing because it couldn't find

XML_GetSpecfiedAttributeCount

in the expat.dll. If any one has any other clues, I'd be grateful again, 
(realizing this is NOT a Perl group).
