This can be done today, I just don't think anyone has changed it. Its 
definitely something we want to support. I know of at least one change to the 
makefiles needed to support this. When building an archive library, windows 
uses the .lib extension instead of .a. We need to support this but currently 
don't.  There may be other things in the makefiles that we need to do to get 
this approach to work.
