Subject: [PATCH] docs: Remove old docs that mention setting up a build
environment with lib.exe
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The build system doesn't use lib.exe any longer, and therefore this
can be simplified.

To use those files with MSVC++, do the same as you would do with
the static libraries, as described above. But in Step 4,
you should only need to add the directory where the LIB files are installed
