About 2: I was just faced with the same problem in another project on
my job. And it turned out that Visual Studio doesn't create *.lib file
if there's no functions declared with __declspec(dllexport) or
mentioned in *.def file in the project. Nothing to export from dll -
no *.lib required. ;-)
You can check if this is the case for you with depends.exe.
