Do you have more details?  For example, what error message does the
build produce without this change?

I'm ignorant enough about the platform-specific details involved that
I'd like an Ack from one of the Windows folks.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Presumably you'd get an error at link time, saying either 'no such
library: expat.lib', or 'symbol X not found' for symbols that were
supposed to come from libexpat.lib.

I do not think we want to see exact error message.  If an empty body
of the log message bothers us, I probably would say that it is
sufficient to write something like

    The name of the expat library is libexpat.lib, not expat.lib;
    otherwise we'd get linkage errors.

I saw Dscho looked at both pull requests and commented on them, but
haven't seen him (or anybody else) acking or nacking the version
that was submitted.  It would be nice to see an Ack from Windows'
side.

Thanks.

As can be seen at
https://dev.azure.com/git/git/_build/results?buildId=2065&view=artifacts&type=publishedArtifacts,
this change is correct.

ACK.

Thank you,
Dscho
