You cannot "statically link a DLL". The two concepts (static and
dynamic linking) are mutually exclusive. The only way that you would be
able to statically link against comctl32 was if you had access to the
static version of the library (NOT the DLL + import lib), which as far
as I know, does not come with MS Visual Studio and is not generally
available to anyone outside of MS. It's certainly not possible with
Cygwin and w32api.
