The equivalent tool for ldd on Windows is depends.exe which should show you
the DLL versions that are being dynamically linked into a .exe file.

> Note that libtool also creates a copy of liblwgeom.dll (unversioned) which
points to the latest version which may be what is causing the confusion
here. I think on Windows a copy of the current version is created because
Windows can't handle symbolic links (NTFS junctions) correctly.

It builds statically under windows without me doing anything -- doesn't ever
build as a separate dll so kind of a non-issue for me except during regress.
I never ever see a liblwgeom.dll being created.
