Some projects use the convention of naming import libs `<name>.lib` and static libs `lib<name>.lib` for MSVC style builds (e.g. the libc++ build does that). But in any case, regardless of what those libs are, we kinda need to follow what ld.bfd does here, for the least amount of surprises for end users.
