Jacob / Donnie, 

The Makefile.vc for MapServer on win32 didn't properly express
the dependencies of the exes on the DLL properly so if something
went wrong linking the DLL you had to manually delete mapserver.lib
to force the right things to get rebuilt. 

I have corrected this in 4.5 CVS. 

In the meantime, those using 4.4 may have to delete mapserver.lib
to force things to rebuild properly, or do a "nmake /f makefile.vc clean".

Best regards,
