In general, these 'resolving blah by linking to __imp_blah' messages can 
be suppressed by using the '--enable-auto-import' flag to ld (or 
-Wl,--enable-auto-import' for gcc).

If you do that, ld figures that you really know what you're doing, and 
don't need the 'informational' messages concerning auto-import.
