Comment:

 I am reopening this ticket because r9030 builds the dll as
 liblibqgispython.dll, which won't be loaded unless it is renamed to
 qgispython.dll.

 I neglected to mention that it was MinGW that I was building with, but you
 picked up on it. Thanks.

 I believe the the file should be referenced from qgisapp.cpp by the name
 "libqgispython" rather than "qgispython". This is what I have been doing
 when I build for Windows and Mandriva Linux.

 I don't have have any experience with MSVC building or Macs, so I'm not
 sure whether the name of the library and how it is referenced has any
 problems if the name is libqgispython in those situations.
