To be clear guys.  I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH MY single file dlls and exes and
would like to keep it that way.  The only place where I think its causing me
issues is in regress testing shp2pgsql-gui as I often get bogus errors
whenever anyone changes liblwgeom.h or it can't find things.  I at this
point have to stop testing shp2pgsql-gui (particularly for 32-bit as it just
causes bogus errors too often).

Thanks,
