I don't understand your problem.  If you build the code for Windows (as 
described in <http://www.live.com/liveMedia/#config-windows>), then library 
names will end with ".lib", which is what you want.  If you build the code 
for Unix systems (as described in 
<http://www.live.com/liveMedia/#config-unix>), then library names will end 
with ".a", which (again) is what you want.  So, no problem.

However, if you *really* want to change the suffix given to library names, 
then you ca do so by changing the "LIB_SUFFIX" line in "win32config" (or 
"config.<whatever>), before you run "genWindowsMakefiles" (or "genMakefiles").
