No.  Our python packages include a patch so that
ctypes.util.find_library('foo') will 'dlltool -I /usr/lib/libfoo.dll.a'
in order to find the DLL name it should load.  Therefore, python
packages which use find_library('foo') must REQUIRES libfoo-devel.

(BTW, think this is bad?  On ELF platforms, find_library uses gcc -lfoo
and ldd to discover the SONAME.)
