I got this error first by using the 'Makefile.win32-msvc.'  When I switched
to 'Makefile.win32-msvc.static,'  Those errors went away and my sip build
completed (producing the static library 'sip.lib' as opposed to an import
library 'sip.lib' plus 'sip.dll.'  When I attempt to link the PyQt bindings
with this library, however, I get many link errors like:

============================================================================

sipqtQObject.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
"__declspec(dllimport) struct _object * __cdecl sipDisconnectRx(struct
_object *,char *,struct _object *,char *)"
(__imp_?sipDisconnectRx@@YAPAU_object@@PAU1 at PAD01@Z)

============================================================================

I have no clue as to what needs to be linked to resolve these.
