Not really, except that the "lib" prefix is used on Win32, too,
exactly in the kind of software that most often uses GLib
I.e. software which has been ported from GNOME/Unix, and which is
built using the GNU toolcahin (especially libtool).

If one specifies the full name of the dll including the ".dll",
g_module_build_path() doesn prepend "lib".
is that full absolute name, or a "full basename?"
