OK, I didn't check, I assumed he wanted a whole new rig but it seems he 
just wants the fixes I have submitted upstream. Yes hamlib rig numbers 
do not change from version to version.

This may be the missing info he needs.

The instructions to build hamlib I gave John were for a vanilla build of 
the hamlib official repo master branch HEAD. That will have built him 
the hamlib shared library and utilities dynamically linked to it.

Yes, it should be that simple. Only one DLL to copy 'libhamlib-2.dll', 
yes it is still called '2'.
