Using/Importing Libraries in Cygwin

["Piyush Kumar" <piyush at acm dot org>]

I have a question, excuse me if it has already been answered!

Borland supplies a utility that converts Microsoft Visual C++ .lib 
library files into Borland compatible files.  Is there something of 
that sort available for cygwin?? Can DLL files be used to extract 
libxxx.a files?? Is some command already available to do it?

If something of that sort is available, It would be of great help
in porting stuff that runs on "only windows!!".

Thanks for your help in advance,
--Piyush

PS: If it has already been answered , or u know of a place where I
could read about this stuff, could you please just send me a personal
mail wihh a link in the reply email.
